Beggared in SA

Sean Higgs as The Beggar • Professional company

65 minutes•Lounge
A one-man play filled with humour, loss, and life. It's based on a true story, taking us through the journey of how a white hairdresser, ended up living in a black township, begging at his robot* for a living. (*traffic light). A grim premise with a heartwarming and humorous outlook that gives the audience a small insight into the underprivileged life that befalls many South Africans. Sean Higgs transports you into the world of The Beggar, effortlessly breathing life into a moving slice of life tale of a man finding a home.
