Izingane Zobaba is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s King Lear. The original text’s concept of ‘kingdom’ has been transposed into a modern day setting of ‘corporate empire’.
Izingane Zobaba is about the effects of power upon a family and how the actions around the acquisition of this power could result in both the destruction of the family but also a true expression of the love felt between members of the family. This is a compelling story for a society where the relationships between fathers and daughters have never been explored in depth on television.
