The Sparrow Schools Foundation is delighted to welcome another group of pupils from Sparrow Schools to the UK. For the first time, the young people are bringing a play which has been specially written and produced for them for this tour.

'Lavela Ilanga - The Sun Rose over Sophiatown' tells the story of the birthplace of South African jazz, in words, music and dance. The vibrant, multi-racial commmunity was forcibly relocated and their homes bulldozed in 1955 and the town was renamed Triomph by the apartheid regime. Today the town is once again a lively mixed community and it is where Sparrow Combined School is based. The performance will undoubtedly be both a highly enjoyable and a humbling experience; this is the first time the young people have been to Europe or been in a play and their dedication and talent is extraordinary.

The cast, aged between 14 to 20, will be staying with host families and spending time making new friends and sight-seeing as well as performing their play to varied audiences at schools, hospitals, churches and community theatres. We know from previous tours that both hosts and guests have hugely enjoyed the experience of getting to know each other.
