Zulu, The

Synopsis:
Grammy Award-winner and Tony Award nominee Mbongeni Ngema returns to the stage after 27 years to retell stories, told to him as a young boy growing up in the heart of Zululand, by his blind great grandmother, Mkutshana. The stories take us on a journey through the formation of the Zulu nation and its struggles for survival, to the moment when the Zulu Nation stops British imperial expansion dead in its tracks at the battle of Isandlwana.
