My play, Noise is currently in rehearsal at the Market Theatre, Johannesburg, directed by the wonderful Dorothy Gould; also a brilliant actor. I am very proud to have a production of mine at such a prestigious theatre, and more especially because of its stand against apartheid, which rightly earned it the title of the ‘Theatre of the Struggle’, a place where black and white actors and playwrights could mix and perform on equal terms during those controversial times. Sarah Hemming in the Financial Times review of the Soho Theatre production of 'Noise' remarked: ‘Alex Jones writes with fury, passion and compassion about those whose voices are seldom heard’. It has been written that the Market Theatre has uniquely provided a ‘voice to the voiceless’, so I hope ‘Noise’ is perhaps a play that will have resonances for an audience in South Africa as its themes are also about a struggle to be heard.
