The show that was performed on March 3, 2010 had many great moments. On 3 March 2010, Woodlands SS students enrolled in theater and history courses attended a show in the Woodlands Cafetorium put on by the AfriCan Theater Ensemble entitled Sohpiatown. The purpose of this excursion was to study different dramatic elements and practice writing a theater review, as well as take a look at the history of South African apartheid. The show was an overall success, deserving only minor criticism. The show was good in terms of acting, sets and special effects (including sound and lighting). First of all, the acting in the show had a lot to praise. From the start it was evident that there was great talent on stage. When Jakes (played by Antonio Cayonne) introduced the premise of the story in the first scene of the play, the accent was extremely well done and realistic enough for the audience to delve into what he was saying. All the actors did an amazing job mastering the accents. Furthermore, the overly stereotypical characters were well represented and brought enough comic relief to the work, without overwhelming the relatively solemn plot. This is demonstrated most prominently in Marc Senior's character, Mingus, whose fatuous personality elicits many laughs from the audience. However, Marc manages to pull himself together when the time is right and show an idealistic and sentimental side of Mingus' personality. One thing the play lacked was depth and further development of Ruth as a character. The girl simply entered the story suddenly, without any introduction or transition in the plot. When Ruth and Jakes share an emotional moment alone in Jake's room, the... center of the paper... was used to draw attention to this group by darkening the surrounding area. In summary, the special effects of the work were rather lacking because there were limitations. Adding lighting and better voice projection could have improved the performance. In conclusion, the show had a powerful effect and made maximum use of available resources (e.g. props/setting). The actors were very talented and suited the plot. This show is suitable for young people interested in history, especially apartheid in South Africa, or anyone who enjoys a heartfelt show with lots of quirky jokes and musical moments. Director Mumbi Tindylebwa did a good job of creating a depiction of a group of friends and their experience with a racist South African government. Anyone would agree that this play was an inspiring and moving show.
