Set in South Africa, in a sleepy town called Stillwater, A Good House focuses on three couples, all neighbours.

They are involved in a mystery, as a shack has sprung up from nowhere, with its inhabitants yet to be seen.

One of the couples, Sihle and Bonolo, are recruited to be the face of a campaign to demolish the shack and evict its residents.

Written by Amy Jephta, A Good House is very clever indeed.

The dialogue between the residents mostly seems innocent and carefree but bubbling away under the surface is the theme of racism.

This starts out  with an innocent wine and cheese evening at Sihle and Bonolo’s house. where we see another couple, Christopher and Lynette, tripping over themselves to prove they are not racist.

Done in a lighthearted way it is quite funny, until the odd line, makes you wince and feel uncomfortable.

This tension then builds and ultimately explodes at couple number 3’s house (Jess and Andrew), after Sihle and Bonolo are mistaken for the residents of the shack.

This case of mistaken identity showcases the prejudice and stereotypes the couple must face, and they call the residents out in an explosive argument.

Mimi M Khayisa (Bonolo) and Sifiso Mazibuko (Sihle), were the perfect casting.

Throughout the play they had the audience alternating between laughing out loud, to cringing and feeling uncomfortable.

This was often cleverly done using freeze frames, where the other actors are frozen and Bonolo and Sihle let their inner feelings out – from literally rolling around on the floor laughing at their white neighbours, to the anger and upset about the prejudices they are facing.

Khayisa excelled, as she portrays Bonolo’s inner turmoil and shows how she is often conflicted about how she should respond to the conversations happening around her.

Supported by Kai Luke Brummer (Andrew), Olivia Darnley (Lynette), Robyn Rainsford (Jess) and Scott Sparrow (Christopher), this is a story of how we live alongside one another.
