Play Reading of New Thriller, REDEMPTION, at Alexander Upstairs

A play reading of a new hour-long thriller, REDEMPTION, by William Oosthuizen, will be held at the Alexander Bar, Café and Theatre on Sunday. Describing himself as a lawyer by day and a wordsmith by night, Oosthuizen has written radio plays, travel stories and some award-winning short stories, one of which has been turned into a short film.

In REDEMPTION, an artist trapped in the incomplete world of her canvasses a convicted murderess out on parole and a reporter desperate for a story to save his career find themselves on a desolate farm off the beaten track. They set out to unravel the past in order to get a glimpse of their future, revealing a web of lies and deceit, hidden agendas and personal desires, fears and longings, discovering in the process the power of penitence and redemption.

The reading of REDEMPTION takes place on 5 February at 16:00. Tickets are available from the Alexander Bar website. Tickets cost R80 if booked and prepaid online, while tickets will also be available at the door for R90. For telephone enquiries, call 021 300 1652. The Alexander Bar, Café and Theatre is situated at 76 Strand Street in the Cape Town city centre and can be followed on Facebook and Twitter.
