Film screening of the play: Forgotten Voices - Inspired by the life of Eva Moorhead Kadalie followed by a discussion with playwright David Moorhead.

The History Workshop is hosting a screening of the play Forgotten Voices (inspired by the life of Eva Moorhead Kadalie) followed by a Q&A with the playwright David Moorhead About the play: Forgotten Voices is a one woman show based on the remarkable true story of Eva Moorhead Kadalie. Alongside her husband, Clements Kadalie (the first national black trade union leader of South Africa) Eva fought against racism from the 1920s to 1950s.

They paved the way for Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress. The play focuses on Eva's challenges, joys and, ultimately, her sacrifices. History has forgotten Eva as is often the fate of women, especially of colour. Shareesa Valentine gives an electric tour de force performance as Eva. Forgotten Voices is written by David Moorhead (Eva's grandson) and directed by Margaret Connell.
