I think that was the 4th time I've savored this show after having seen it in Grahamstown back then. It's an epic poem delivered with energy;conviction and admirable passion.
Brilliant. Brilliant. And brilliant.
Extremely intelligent look at the white ou , this stuff needs to be said , a ‘me too ‘ for the post traumatised guys forgotten by a pc society. Delivered in a multi metaphorical rhyming slang and physical theatre that is so absorbing and real I was transported and stunned by the flawless intensity.
Excellent acting and Coetzee's writing is as spot-on as always!
Excellent script and excellent acting - very clever!
Best play we have ever seen!
