Nelson Mandela Children's Fund UK is delighted to have the support of The Mysteries production and raised over £700 in one collection.

The Olivier Award-winning South African company whose critically-acclaimed production of The Magic Flute thrilled London in 2008 has returned to the West End with its triumphant new production of The Mysteries.

From the Creation to the Resurrection through Noah's Ark and the Nativity, some of the greatest stories ever told are brought to life in this vibrant spectacle of music and dance. First seen in two sell-out London seasons at Wilton's Music Hall and the Queen's Theatre in 2001 & 2002, The Mysteries now returns to the West End in a new production for 25 performances from the 11September until the 3rd October.

Isango Portobello's ensemble of 33 performers is let by Pauline Malefane, who was last seen in London as the Queen of the Night, in The Magic Flute. Performed in English and other languages of South Africa, The Mysteries also employs the glorious and exuberant musical sound which has become the company's trademark, featuring township percussion and joyous a cappella singing.

This uplifting and passionate production is a moving and inspiring experience for all. For more information and to buy tickets please visit: www.themysteries.com
