([[Volksruimte]] in Afrikaans/Indawo Yezizwe in Xhosa) A continuation for the [[Space Theatre]]. Renamed under the management of [[Rob Amato]] when original founder [[Brian Astbury]] went to England in 1979. Backed by [[Muriel Fine]] and others, the theatre continued its predecessor’s provocative work, though often serving rather as venue than as production company, till 1981. Among the significant new works were [[Matsemela Manaka]]’s ''[[Egoli]]'', [[Zakes Mda]]’s ''[[Dark Voices Ring]]'' (1978) and ''[[The Hill]]'' (1980), and [[Kessie Govender]]’s ''[[Working Class Hero]]''. Also the South African premiéres of Sam Shepard’s ''[[Cowboy Mouth]]'' and David Hare’s ''[[Fanshen]]''.
