*Ensemble Theatre *continues its 44th Season with another powerful two hander... *THE ISLAND* *By Athol Fugard, John Kani, & Winston NtshonaDirected By Sarah May* *F**eaturing the amazing talents of two local Cleveland actors ::* *Robert Williams (as John) and Nnamdi Okpala (as Winston)* John and Winston are black political prisoners in South Africa, spending their days at hard labor and their evenings rehearsing Sophocles' ‘Antigone’. Though the two men are deeply bonded to one another, their friendship is tested when John discovers that his most recent appeal was successful, while Winston is still looking at years of brutal incarceration ahead. A profile on the depth of human resilience in the face of unspeakable injustice and racism. *While “The Island” may have been fueled by the highly specific iniquities of a now-dismantled political system, the play speaks to any place, any culture, where liberties are at risk. -Variety.com* October 27th- November 12th, 2023.
