Mike Van Graan is an award winning, South African Playwright. He is the President of the African Cultural Policy Network and an award-winning playwright having written 30 plays with a focus on the post-apartheid challenges.[3]
Life and career[edit]
Mike van Graan graduated from the University of Cape Town with a BA Honours Degree in Drama and was appointed as an Associate Professor in UCT’s Drama Department from 2015-2019. He is currently an artist-in-residence at the University of Pretoria where he has been commissioned to write a play on the Sustainable Development Goals.
Van Graan combines advocacy in cultural policy and general arts activism with his creative output as a playwright and producer.
To date, he has written thirty-two plays, with a quarter of them being commissions. His work generally explores the post-apartheid condition through drama and satire, and he is considered one of South Africa’s leading playwrights both for his prolific production and for the number of awards that his work has been nominated for, or won. Most recently, his play on African migration and refugees – When Swallows Cry – won the Naledi Theatre Awards for Best Production, Best Director and Best Script (2017).
He was appointed as Artscape’s Associate Playwright from 2011-2014 (Artscape is one of South Africa’s five nationally-subsidised theatres). He received the Standing Ovation Award at South Africa’s 2012 National Arts Festival for his sustained contribution to the Festival as a writer and activist, and in 2013 was appointed as the inaugural Festival Playwright where four of his plays were showcased.
Three of his plays have been translated: Green Man Flashing into Spanish and Greek, Brothers in Blood into Swedish and When Swallows Cry into Greek as well. Green Man Flashing (2004) is probably his most famous play, resonating with the #metoo campaign, and is regularly studied at schools and universities.
He is featured as a playwright both in The Methuen Drama Guide to Contemporary South African Theatre and New Territories: Theatre, Drama and Performance in Post-apartheid South Africa and was invited to write the final chapter – Epilogue: Theatre and the Post-Apartheid Condition for Theatre in Transformation: Artistic Processes and Cultural Policy in South Africa.
In 2018 he was awarded an honorary doctorate: PhD (honoris causa) from the University of Pretoria related to his cultural activism in South Africa.[4]
