From my Point of View in South Africa

Emma Nicholson has adapted Berkoff's short story From My Point Of View for the Kwasuka Cutting Edge Theatre in Greyville, South Africa.  The actors are Clare Mortimer and Darren King.  It is on from 4-9 Sept 2007.

A review says  "The stark stage is shared by Clare Mortimer and Darren King, who both put in strong performances in this brief and blunt 50- minute piece.  Mortimer is fantastic as a woman searching for someone to come home to. This promiscuous character trawls the left-overs at dance halls and dark hallways and yet still remains loveable through her honest narration.  Throughout the show we watch as she is man-handled and treated as an object; even when she first appears on stage she is carried on as a doll-like figure and dressed in the appropriate female paraphernalia. Yet there is something poignant about her openness and optimism in a world that is so deceptively desolate...

From My Point of View is a well- constructed show that is effective in its uncluttered appeal... There are only a few props which transform between the different scenes, and the uncomplicated appeal of it all allows for the eloquence of the writing to be showcased....  After all, it is Berkoff's writing that deserves centre stage, being both beautiful and explosive and worth the weight of each word."
