Tumisho Masha has taken the lead role in 'Fences', the star-studded local adaptation of the classic American play by August Wilson, after Dr John Kani stepped down due to ill health.
When theatre lovers flock to the Joburg Theatre on Thursday for the opening night of August Wilson’s iconic play Fences, legendary actor John Kani will not be playing the lead as planned.
"A bout of vertigo and the concurrent imbalance that it causes is precluding me from stepping on stage in this demanding role," said the legendary actor.
