Backpay

An emotionally painful, skillfully crafted drama (Daily Telegraph)



When Mina, alienated from her own culture, visits her old nanny, Sophie, at her home in Soweto, the reunion is not as joyful as she had hoped; what we choose to remember, after all, is never how things really were.

Backpay premiered at the Royal Court in October 1996 as part of the Young Writers Festival.
