Lewis Nkosi’s riveting work The Black Psychiatrist is “akin to taking the history of the struggle and the shifting balance of power and synergizing these values within socio-culturally constructed roles that embrace race and gender all within a framework with surprising twists and turns that positions the psycho analytical gaze both without and within” says DUT Drama and Performance Studies HOD and The Black Psychiatrist’s director, Prof. Deb Lutge.
The play which lasts an hour explores an entire gamut of audience emotions from embarrassment to mirth, from fear to contemplation all layered with the poignant beauty of Lewis Nkosi’s astute and provocative writing.
