Mid-winter 1964, a phone rings at Johannesburg Railway Station. John Harris speaks quickly into the receiver: “This is the African Resistance Movement. We have planted a bomb, It is not our intention to harm anyone. Clear the Concourse.”

They don’t.

The bomb explodes, twenty-three are injured, one dies.

Does the end justify the means? Does one life matter?

The Only White is a true retelling of a desperate fight for freedom, of the one white man executed for political activities in Apartheid South Africa. A story of love, courage and comradeship.

Written by Gail Louw (Argus Angel Award winner for Artistic Excellence at Brighton Festival), directed by Anthony Shrubsall (Best Director for Scenesaver awards and OnComm winner for best series at the 2022 Off West End Awards), and produced by Becca Rowson (Finalist for “Innovative New Play” 2022 by London Pub Theatre’s, and finalist for Hidden Gem 2022 by LondonTheatre1).
