Because this is/was Student theatre there was a small, but big in spirit, audience. What a shame. Irreverent, post-modern, therefore also inter-textual, absolutely brilliant, with no need for making a concession to Nation Building through a need for arts funding.  These Stellenbosch students did a piece of what might be the most ‘important’ theatre here.  Absolutely shredding, well, I was shredded.  Mbongeni Ngema and Percy Mtwa were talking of doing a revisit of Woza Albert! after the great elections.  Well, here it is, and the rainbow nation children are slaughtered in racial, nationalistic strife.  These kids say it as it is.  Be warned, be very afraid. And the artistry is faultless. Why, oh why, did not more people see this.
