Tracks

A one-woman autoethnographic theatrical show, performed by Maude Sandham who excavates the myth and memory of her grandfather, Alan Sandham. A man with 6 children and a dedicated wife. A man who loved to read the classics, listen to Rachmaninoff and cook his ‘Scandinavian specialties’. A man who worked for the South African Railway for 35 years. And a man who kept a secret. A story about the political ebbing into the personal. A story about a man of colour who slipped through the cracks of the Apartheid regime.

Tracks was the commissioned play for the 2017 So Solo Festival at Wits University, and has been staged at the Festival of the Arts at the Johannesburg Theatre, the National Arts Festival in Makhanda and at POPArt Theatre in Maboneng. In 2019 we toured to Hong Kong and Vietnam, as the official partner of the SAHK Theatre Exchange.
