John Kani’s brilliant contemporary drama 'Nothing But the Truth' received its highly anticipated American premiere Off-Broadway at the Lincoln Center Theater's Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater in 2003, standing as a textually rich monument of the post-apartheid season. The claustrophobic naturalistic tragedy unfolds inside a modest home in New Brighton, South Africa, tracking Sipho Makhaya, an aging library archivist whose stable life collapses into an ideological war when his independent, British-raised niece arrives carrying the ashes of his exiled revolutionary brother, unpeeling a web of hidden sibling betrayals. Directed by Janice Honeyman.
