Untold Theatre Premieres Second Production: The Scar Test

Posted on 2015-06-27 by tikichris

Posted on 2014-03-14 by tikichris

We are Proud to Present a Presentation about the Herero of Namibia, Formerly Known as Southwest Africa, from the German Sudwestafrika, Between the Years 1884 – 1915 may be an exhaustingly exhaustive title to say (and even type) but it’s an otherwise invigorating piece of work to see performed.
