Me and Twirling Skirt is written and directed by Musa Ntuli and Zama Msibi it's a double bill of back to back,two shows with a same theme and subject, diffferent scripts and directors interconnected.A story about victimized women sharing their struggle, the plot unfolds in different scenes that collide to prolong the theme of the play,intertwined with music, movement and poetry.Second story of a girl who gives a clear explanation of why she has more than one partner.
Me and Twirling skirt is creatively directed which makes the whole piece interesting.Both scripts show potential yet they still need more growth and development,this kind of story telling has been done before,and the writing might fall under preachy mode become predictable.
The actors held the story together, they performed with zeal and full commitment, it has been a while since I have seen such dedication and professionalism on stage. Mayenziwe Zuma has a sterling presence on stage yet one must realize that projection is vital in storytelling.
Having said that, it's not a waste of money to watch this shows, thoroughly enjoy it.
Iam looking forward to more of Sakhiwo Arts and Develeopment Centre.
