The South African State Theatre proudly presents the critically acclaimed Nigerian production, Dear Kaffy: Diary of a Single Woman, running from 28 February to 9 March 2025. Written by Shola Dada and Bolanle Austen-Peters, this captivating play is a testament to the power of African storytelling and its ability to transcend borders.
