The Production

Polart Productions will be hosting a stage production of Tuckshop at The Playhouse Theatre Company in Durban, KwaZulu Natal.

Tuckhop is a play that reflects and poses questions about the subject matters that arise in a deteriorating socio-cultural environment in the areas of Phoenix and Kwa Mashu. Apart from trade, the tuckshop is seen as an informal counselling station where issues are told and unfolded…

Written by Pranesh Maharaj, Tuckshop was aired on Lotus FM as a radio drama. Radio Audience Measurement Survey (RAMS) proved there to be a peak in listener ship while Tuckshop was on, hence it has been adapted for a stage audience.
