South African actor and presenter Mona Monyane wrote a note thanking everyone who went to watch For Colored Girls.
The play was directed by James Ngcobo and choreographed by Lulu Mlangeni and took place in the Joburg Theatre from the 16th of February to the 3rd of March.
The play was inspired by the movie For Colored Girls which is a combination of the late Ntozakhe Shange’s 20 poems that covers the issues and problems faced by women.
Taking to Instagram, the actor shared a picture of herself. In her caption, she wrote, “I’d like to officially thank all my Queens and Kings who came to watch and support #forcoloredgirls.”
She added that she is humbled that God always gives her roles that are also about the paths she has walked, “I am fortunate to be able to still tell stories that aim to heal and inspire us to look deeper within ourselves for the solutions we so frantically seek in the external world.”
“Ntozake Shange, may your soul rest peacefully be knowing that you wrote a timeless story that carries the pain of women everywhere with so much power! You have also written a piece that holds space for men to become a part of the conversation. We will forever be grateful that you honored your calling and purpose,” she added.
“May we continue to have more opportunities to bring to life, stories that require us to move beyond just being entertained, to being transformed. What a wonderful way It’s been to start the year, thank you God for your faithfulness,” she concluded her caption.
