The Mitchell Library will be
exhibiting the Collected Works of Shakespeare known as the 'Robben Island
Bible' which Mandela dated and signed in the mid-1970’s during his
incarceration on Robben Island.
On the afternoon of Saturday 19th July,
there will be a performance of The Robben Island Bible
in the Mitchell Library Exhibition Hall. The staged reading is based on
the chosen verses of 30 of the most important political prisoners on the
island prison who went on to lead South Africa after the fall of
apartheid and the first democracy elections in 1994. A panel discussion
will follow the reading.
