- **Event Description**: Michael Charton's new story about South Africa in the 50s and 60s, through the lens of popular culture. (Makeba, Masekela, Huddleston, Tutu)About this EventSONG FOR SOPHIATOWN | 1950s and 60s South Africa through the lens of pop culture.Michael Charton's brand-new story, SONG FOR SOPHIATOWN, comes to london for the first time in November (Courthouse Hotel Theatre). The story explores 1950s and '60s South Africa through the lens of popular culture (music, theatre, journalism, and the church).The story is a carefully crafted ode to the interwoven lives of Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela, Trevor Huddleston, Henry Nxumalo; Arthur Goldreich, and Desmond Tutu (amongst others). Performers, publishers, photographers and preachers, whose creativity roared in bold defiance of the cold, group-thinking of the state.Here are a collection of astonishing lives whom (I believe) warrant an elevated space within our national story. For just as their contributions are beginning to fade from living memory, so too, their lessons in independent thinking have never been more pertinent.We've had tremendous feedback from the story's launch in Cape Town and Johannesburg. It will be a special, memorable evening. A gathering of interesting South Africans and those curious about our story.Evening's Proceedings:?: 06:40 PM - 07:25 PMSONG FOR SOPHIATOWN  |  Part 1?: 07:25 PM - 07:40 PMINTERVAL?: 07:40 PM - 08:25 PMSONG FOR SOPHIATOWN  |  Part 2

                "description": "Bio: Michael Charton and Inherit South Africa (Pty) LtdHaving qualified as a chartered accountant in 2004, Michael embarked on a traditional financial career. However, his subsequent studies in history would eventually lure him from his corporate career. Specifically, Michael came to believe that the craft of historical storytelling could transform South Africa’s traumatic story into a source of human connection.By 2015 this idea was sufficiently precise, prompting Michael to exit his financial career and develop a series of non-fiction stories, each with the hope of inspiring curiosity in South Africa’s past and its peoples. He has since told his stories across South Africa and the world, while his messages (albeit backed by South African stories) seek out human truths which are inherintly universal. His stories appeal to curious, sophisticated audiences."
