Destiny: insights into life in South Africa in 1974A clear sky watches over Della Meth’s home in a township near Durban, South Africa, where she lives with her father and younger brother. The family members offer distinct insights into life in South Africa in 1974, the year Destiny – a world premiere written by Kirsty Marillier, who also performs the role of Della – is set in. His presence promises trouble and the attention of the Security Branch of the South African Police, known for their violence and intimidation. Destiny: difficulty of maintaining African accentThe cast, like many actors before them, struggle to deliver the notoriously difficult South African accent with consistency, and they often lack the accent’s phrasing rhythm. Destiny: showcase of South African cultureThe intrigue of Destiny comes from its showcase of South African culture and most particularly life under Apartheid: banned music, house raids, condensed milk, hiding people from the police, having a braai.
