The action-packed heist thriller

Silent Voice, starring Academy Award (Oscar) winner Presley Chweneyagae and actors Boitumelo Shisana wa Sekgobela, Zenzo Ngqobe and Tumelo Mosenye, premiered at Ster-Kinekor Theatres (SKT) cinemas on 25 March and continues until 17 April.

The movie is the sixth production to be screened in collaboration of the South African State Theatre (SAST) and SKT to exhibit theatre content in cinemas since July last year. The film is loaded with meaningful and realistic commentary about life in modern-day South Africa.

Written and directed by awardwinning writer and director Aubrey Sekhabi, Silent Voice is a gripping story of four men on the run after a botched robbery which turns into murder. As their plan unravels the audience is brought into the midst of the action as they become pawns in a fight for survival.

Devised in 1992, Silent Voice is one of Sekhabi’s early works as a playwright. It has enjoyed acclaim confirmed by five Naledi Theatre Awards nominations the
