Bridling, written by Nadia Davids, is the thirs collaboration between the playwright and director/choreographer Jay Pather. The play charts the actor’s journey from audition to opening night, containing within it a dark, unsettling meta-commentary about creativity, feminism, compromise and rebellion. Pather takes up Davids’ feminist tale – described by Caine Prize judges as “a triumph of language, storytelling and risk-taking”- to create an exquisite multi-disciplinary work that seamlessly merges text, movement, set and image in his singular, innovative style.
