A SOUTH African play that explores the heart of real people and lives, opens the autumn season at Chester Gateway's Manweb studio.

Out Of Bounds, a semi autobiographical drama written and performed by Rajesh Gopie, runs from Thursday, September 4 to Saturday, September 6.

It tells the story of Lal and his family, Indians growing up in a township on the outskirts of Durban, during and after apartheid.

People who belch after meals and yell at the people they love are depicted in their homes.

It portrays parents who are impatient with their children and children who are ashamed of their parents.

Tickets priced £8/£5 are available from the box office 01244-340392.
