LADY TSHAWE Productions and The Oasis are set to present The Monologue Collection in celebration of World Theatre Day.
The Monologue Collection is written, directed and performed by local artistes.
The event will be held on March 24 at The Oasis, in Bulawayo. The Night will see performances from Zenzo Nyathi, Charmaine Mudau, with scripts written by Nonhlalo Dube, and Norbert Mak among others.

“This is a night where we get to see performances done in monologue form by local actors and written by local script writers.
