wits theatre = excellent

because they put on insane student productions like CROCODILE TEARS, for only 10 rand (about US$1.20) which i saw this morning in lieu of going to work for extra hours since i worked a bunch at home last night. the description:

CROCODILE TEARS; Nunnery; 15 – 19 July; 10h30

In a time when we see, hear and speak no evil, Crocodile Tears prompts the audience , through satire, allegory and metaphors, to review and examine society and their role in a country. Five women deconstruct the female body so that the world can mend; directed by Tshepiso Konopi and composed by Mathew Macfarlan

it was amazing. four woman cast, big political commentary, one of the best shows about women's rights/human rights (they're interchangeable, really) that i've seen in a while. they were very physical with the audience: sitting with us, pointing at us, accusing us, congratulating us, sitting on our laps. (not mine, i was in the back row, but you get the picture.)

birthday party tonight. we're keeping it classy with chocolate cake and no-name generic boxed wine!
