Xmas Eve Dinner in Gugs

In the heart of Gugulethu, four old friends gather for a Christmas Eve dinner unlike any other—two Christians, a Muslim, and a proud Xhosa woman who’s hosting them in her childhood home.
As laughter bounces off the tin roofs and warm food fills the table, music and memories collide in this soulful, funny, and deeply moving play with music. Childhood stories unravel, old tensions resurface, and absent loved ones are toasted with laughter and tears. For some, it’s a return; for others, a hilarious first trip into the township—complete with taxi confusion,
dodgy directions, and unexpected warmth. “Xmas Eve Dinner in Gug’s” is a celebration of friendship, culture, and the bittersweet joy of coming home.
Duration: 90min; no interval
Age Restriction: no under 5’s
