Drama students take on the colonialists

THE Arena Theatre will run Colon(y) Dis Covered, a biting satire of sexual politics, from April 6 to 13 at the Hiddingh Campus.

Colon(y) Dis Covered usually makes up Act 1 of Cloud Nine, a play by English playwright Caryl Churchill. Described as a provocative and amusing study of colonialism and sexual politics, Cloud Nine is set in Victorian Africa and contemporary England and "mocks colonial and sexual repressions in a farce that employs racial and gender cross-casting to make its points".

Colon(y) Dis Covered will be performed by senior students of the UCT Drama Department under the direction of Liz Mills.

Book with Sue Cole at 480-7129 or email scole@hiddingh.uct.ac.za.
