Bizet's CARMEN gets a cultural transplant as director Mark Dornford-May transports the events of the tragic opera to South Africa in this musical concerning a seductive cigarette-factory worker & her attempts to romance a policeman already set to marry another woman Originally mounted on-stage by the innovative Dornford-May this version of CARMEN reworks Bizet's familiar tunes by adopting them into Xhosa to tell the tale of Carmen's doomed affair with otherwise involved policeman Jongikhaya (Andile Tshoni)
