Outstanding

Moving!!

Amazing piece of theatre, with brilliant performances by all. Crushingly moving, real-life narratives gathered from around the world are shared with raw honesty. My only criticism is that the show was a little long, and ideally should be shortened somewhat.Alexander Bar - you rock!

It’s not often that I would recommend you get yourself to the theatre to watch a nauseating production which will leave you with a bitter taste and stunned incredulity at the inhumanity of man, but I urge you to watch one of the two remaining performances https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10155072981147735&set=a.458751257734.250692.650757734&type=3&theater

Simply put, last night's performance was both “REAL and OUTSTANDING”. Shannyn Fourie’s opening performance transported me in an instance from an intimate theatre to the real world; one experienced, felt and conquered by the brave woman for whom she gave a voice. Sive Gubangxa’s performances were energised and majestic! Her African-American character was literally unleashed and she delivered a memorable account not only of the birth of American but also of herself as a talented and professional actor. Alison Hofer’s portrayal of a physically abused wife and mother was believable and chilling; I found it hard to refocus my attention as her words seem to echo in the depths of my enquiring mind. The youthful memories re-enacted by Allistine Grady and Liese Kuhn were delivered with poise and precision; both performances showing that one’s first time experiences, like a first kiss or making out don’t seem to match up with the “happy-ever-after” fairy tale, we as young innocent girls are sold. But here in lies the reason why everyone should not miss watching this play… There are glimmers of “real” hope and “real” love when timeous masculine character monologues, cleverly position by director Tamryn Speirs; delivered by Leon Clingman and Evan Hengst which come to life. Having watched previous V-Day monologue productions, the presence of both were indeed refreshing, as their genuine and mannish portrayals left me as a woman hopeful of what it really means to be considered a “gentleman” or rather… simply put - who that knight in shining armour really is.
