Review: Wuthering Heights at York Theatre Royal

What did I expect to see at the new Emma Rice production? Humour? Theatricality? Exhilarating style? I got all of those with a large helping of darkness and death. But it was a sense of The Wuthering Heights Experience that I took away with me. (more…)

Nandi (c. 1760 – October 10, 1827) was a daughter of Bhebhe, a past chief of the Langeni tribe and the mother of the famous Shaka, King of the Zulus. Shaka's father was Senzangakhona kaJama, King of the Zulu people. Senzangakhona impregnated Nandi during an act of ukuhlobonga, a form of coitus interruptus allowed to unmarried couples at a time known as "the fun of the roads" (amahlaya endlela), but the lovers became carried away. After giving birth to her illegitimate son, Nandi spent many hard years being shuffled back and forth between the Zulus and her own people, abaHlongo. During that time she also had to protect her son from famine, assassination attempts, and his own destructive temper. Despite the hard times they endured together, or perhaps because of them, Shaka loved his mother almost to the point of worship. Nandi died of dysentery on October 10, 1827.

“I wanted to show her massive power, beauty, resilience, create something almost lucid and fertile in a way that I wish we saw women represented more often.”
