MUSHO!: SOMETIMES I LAUGH LIKE MY SISTER

(Rebecca Peyton)

The 2013 Musho! Festival takes place in Durban at the Catalina Theatre from January 16 to 20. 

Sometimes I Laugh Like My Sister will be performed on January 16 at 20h00. 

Produced by Vital Digression and Obviam Est (London) Sometimes I Laugh Like My Sister is written by Rebecca Peyton and Martin M Bartelt, directed by Martin M Bartelt and performed by Rebecca Peyton. 

In February 2005, a BBC journalist was murdered in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. Her name was Kate and she was Rebecca’s big sister. Rebecca welcomes us to her world in a passionately political, sharply comical and painfully personal account of life after Kate. Crafting a moving and often comic tapestry of private moments from a public tragedy, the show explores - through Rebecca's eyes - the story of a courageous journalist and a loving big sister who is missed. 

Sometimes I Laugh Like My Sister now comes to South Africa, where Kate lived for the last ten years of her life. Each show is dedicated to different people who have been killed working as journalists or media workers. (Drama; All ages; 70 minutes)
