Savages - Pretoria

This incredible, witty and funny story, that tells the history of Africa and the sexes in such a creative way, through elements of singing, dancing, poetry and rap is as compelling as it is provocative. The cast is gathered from different backgrounds and asked to accomplish the "almost" impossible, create a spectacular spectacle in less than one month. On the 3rd of December 2016, Savages opens to the public. It is the story of L and her naive household. L, a thoughtful woman, is married quite happily to two men, one beautiful and fickle, the other plain and thoughtful - and quips that she is interested in love triangles as long as she can be the hypotenuse. Their household also consists of A, a woman who enjoys the company of as many men as possible, and in this instance, she is praised for it, as well as an aunt who forever promises to marry her beau but never really gets around to it, two boys, constantly reminded that they should get married already, and a girl who is left to dream of how great she can be. All is well until a visitor arrives one fine day by the name of Roads, Roads is a woman who quickly learns that the inhabitants of this beautiful house can easily be duped. Roads sells them dreams, and the inhabitants buy them, after L tells Roads "my home is your home" Roads decided to use that to her advantage. Taking it as a verbal contract, Roads brings her family to stay, to the shock and discomfort of L and her family. Soon enough Roads outsmarts L and takes over the entire house, resulting in a thought provoking and emotional journey. It is a play filled with entertaining punchlines, funny twists and lovable characters - even the villains are to die for.
