Coming to theHex Studio Theatre in
Pietermaritzburg, is And The Girls In Their Sunday Dresses by Zakes Mda. This is a humorous story of
two characters, The Woman and The Lady - one a retired prostitute fallen on hard times, the other a domestic
worker - waiting in line to buy subsidised rice from a government office.
The women strike up an unlikely relationship: one has a
chair; the other some food. "All we need is patience and our turn will
come," says one. As they
wait to be served, they share stories of heartbreak, and they find they have
more in common than initially meets the eye.
This production by
StageFront Productions of And the Girls in Their Sunday Dresses is directed
by BreeH Cele, and performed by Nompilo Jili and Pertunia Msani.
And The Girls In Their
Sunday Dresses has performances from April 21 to 23 at 19h00 at the Hexagon Studio Theatre on the UKZN
Pietermaritzburg campus. Tickets R50 at the door.
