Life’s a Stage is an entertainment/reality show starring Princess Zinzi Mhlongo, winner of the 2012 Standard Bank Young Artist Award for Theatre, and the cast and crew of Trapped. The journey we see reflects the aspirations of young South Africans as they transform their dreams into reality on the Austrian stage. Princess Mhlongo is one of only a few black female directors in South Africa and the first African invited to compete in the glamorous Salzburg Festival for Young Directors in Austria. She is up against the best young directors from Austria, France and Korea and the festival offers her the chance to enter the top league of international theatre directors.
