The Space Between
by Simeon Taole


The Space Between is the story of a young boy from South Africa who falls in love with a young American girl while abroad, only to be separated from her on his family’s return to South Africa. Set against the historical backdrop of apartheid, the story follows the relationship between the young children and their long journey to reunite before the space between them separates them forever. Inspired by actual events, this story is deeply moving, filled with humour, and captivating in its entirety.

“The Space Between is Simeon Taole’s debut as a playwright, but you’d never suspect as much. The writing is eloquent. It is full of warmth and insight into the heartbreak and joy of someone who has experienced and overcome adversity.” — Mooney On Theatre
