Set against the backdrop of academia, Oleanna is a raw depiction of the complexities of gender relations and communication.

Mamet's sharp script exposes the vulnerabilities and frustrations of both characters, challenging viewers to dissect the intricate dynamics of power and control.
Altovise Lawrence and Mothusi Magano bring an electrifying energy to the roles of Carol and John. Their performances navigate the emotional and intellectual battlegrounds of the characters, offering a window into their conflicted psyches.
Oleanna mirrors society's timeless pressing issues—abuse of power, censorship, and the fine line between guidance and coercion. Don't miss this thought-provoking production that promises to leave you questioning and reflecting long after the curtain falls.
