WELCOME TO ROCKSBURG is a gritty, deep, African action play which is based on the Township comic series of the same name. The play follows the main character ; a facially disfigured young man who is named “King Kong”. Upon being released from prison, “King Kong” falls in love with a young woman, who happens to be to partner of a notorious Township gangster, which pushes him into a life of crime and corruption, which “King Kong” had vowed to avoid.
The gang are keen for “King Kong” to be involved with them, due to his huge size and extreme strength, but before long, everything goes wrong. The police are soon onto the gang, and “King Kong”, and his life of being chased by the law continues again.
Epic action-packed gunfights, bar brawls and a “beauty and the beast” style plot all feature in this brilliant play by Mpumelelo Paul Grootboom.
This was the first play that I have personally watched, and all in all I really enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this play, and it is a must see! The Civic itself is a great, new building located in the centre of Barnsley, with friendly staff and easy access from public transport.
