I posted this a few days ago, but I really think people ought to go watch Sizwe Bansi is Dead, one of the great 20th Century Plays (and has one of the greatest opening monologues in all theatre): https://youtu.be/DA_lKeTsTuo

RIP Athol Fugard (though I must mention that it was co-written with John Kani (who plays Styles/Buntu) and Winston Ntshona (who plays Robert))

Brothers, it's time to testify, and I want to know: Are you ready to testify? Are you ready? I give you a testimonial: the MC5”
