Theatre and cinema arts are not well represented in Swaziland. There is not a single cinema anywhere in the kingdom and very little live theatre.
One group that aims to keep theatre live in Swaziland is the Swaziland Theatre Club and the group has its latest production next week.
The Swaziland Theatre Club and fat rex productions are presenting Nobody’s Perfect.
This play stars Mike Nann, Sindi Nxumalo, Tanya Aab and Pietro Berardi.
It follows the story of Leonard (Nann) a shy statisitician who lives at home with his wayward daughter (Aab) and his ribald father (Berardi). Secretly, Leonard is a novelist and he sends off his novel to a females-only writing competition under the pen name of a woman, Myrtle Banbury. He wins the competition but has to pretend to be a little old lady to collect the prize money! Unexpectedly, he falls in love with the publisher, Harriet (Nxumalo), who much prefers his female alter ego to his actual dorky self.
What follows is a hilarious romp through the family, gender and, ultimately, love.
The production of Nobody's Perfect takes place Thursday to Saturday (16-18 August 2007) at 7.30pm in the Swaziland Theatre Club, Mbabane. Tickets are E40.
Groups of 8 or more can get half -price tickets for the Thursday 16 August. Performance. Email a list of the names to jacksonrogers@yahoo.com and they will be put on the door.
