Ghost Twerkers: A Play on Gender-based Violence

By Ola-Kris Akinola

Three girls from impoverished backgrounds, determined to get an education and a decent living, opt to become exotic commercial dancers at a night club. A rape incident by some clients would mark the beginning of their freedom from gender-based violence (GBV).

An incisive play that touches on the nerve centre of some of society's most detestable challenges of our time.

A stunningly thought-provoking play [that] reveals the dangers and silence around gender-based violence.
Mrs Samukezi Mrubula-Ngwenya,

A thoughtful, compassionate and delicate intervention, inspired by the irresistible urge of the playwright to give his own view of the insanity of GBV.
