Bo Khumo
In a Kagiso Community Arts Centre alive with ambition,two best friends from different worlds become bitter rivals when they compete for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to work with their favourite renowned director on Netflix’s No Good Friday. Otumile (24), a hardworking and gifted actor haunted by porn addiction and chronic procrastination, wins the coveted role. Unbeknownst to him, his charismatic friend Themba (25), a rising social media star notorious for spreading damaging rumours, will stop at nothing to take it from him. When jealousy drives one to betrayal and violence, the pursuit of fame spirals into obsession, blood, pain, and tragedy under the spotlight.
Reviews
"The show was very nice, entertaining and presented a very impactful and meaningful nuance to the conversation on fame, blackness and the marginalised. Seen through the eyes of youth. It can serve as a cautionary tale, and a map through which other aspiring actors may use to find and carve their own path in the industry. It is brilliant that the mode of articulation it uses, an indigenous language which in this regard fully reflects and represents the imagination of blackness as it relates to the subject. I hope that there will be more artistic works that attempts to cover the gap in the underrepresented subjects and stories in general. The actors on stage also contributed immensely in the telling of this wonderful story of wanting to balance reaching one's dreams, making your family happy and trying to see yourself as the star you've always known yourself to be.
