Multi award-winning actress and poet Nomashawekazi Damasane, popularly known as Lady Tshawe, has taken her acting to some dizzy heights as she is set to feature in a South African theatre production titled The Dr Hokaspokas Show.

Lady Tshawe told Zim Now that the opportunity is a sign of growth to her carrier as an actress and she appreciates the opportunity to showcase her talent at such a big stage.

“Every stage I’ve been on grows me as an actress. I am humbled to be afforded this opportunity to showcase my gift on a stage such as the South African State Theatre - which is the largest theatre complex in Africa.

“I am excited and nervous but, ultimately, I am grateful for this opportunity,” she said.

The script was written by Christopher Mlalazi and the theatre drama will be directed by renowned South African freelance actor and author Bafana Dladla.

Theatregoers can anticipate seeing a fictional character named Dr Hokaspokas who will host a reality television show The Dr Hokaspokas Show, which will star King Panda and Queen Aishan, played by Lady Tshawe.

With her participation in shows like 6.55, Kumnyama, Tellers, Revelations of You, and Blood Tongue – The Musical, Lady Tshawe’s theatrical climb in the cultural and creative industries is well-documented.

Her work ethic compliments that of the play’s award-winning director, Bafana Dladla, who also serves as the managing director of two industrial theatre firms, Sold Out Productions and Cebo Lwakhe Trading Enterprises (PTY) Ltd.

Zabalaza and Monster In My House are two examples of Dlaldla’s works that have achieved mainstream success.

He has been a constant in the music and film industries for more than 10 years and he has a longstanding professional relationship with Lady Tshawe.
