Returning to your Rootz with Nazli George

Rootz is a delightful one-woman show featuring Nazli George, the Cape Town acclaimed actress. She'll have you in stiches even before the show begins. She ripped off SA's rainbow nation as she made her way through the audience making everyone move arond uncomfortably in their seats. It's impossible to lay low when she's calling you out from the sidelines, but it's all in the name of a good laugh. If you're in need of a stress reliever with a dramatic twist go check out Rootz. It's not just comedy, it's a look at life in SA from a different perspective that will get you thinking.

Nazli George takes on the role of six Coloured woman who are living in a block of flats in Cape Town's notorious Cape Flats region as she puts forth a monologue for each. Barbara Mansions is the name of the place and each character takes on a life of their own. From a prostitute, to a beggar, to an old Moslem lady, to a crazy woman who watches soapies all day. The six woman each plead their case as to why their leases at Barbie's Mansion should not be terminated. The moral of the story is that while we all may live in seperate worlds of our own, there are people out there who we judge from their outer appearance and well…this is wrong guys so stop doing that. (*lol* My grammatical sense lapsed for a second there; I'll do better next time.)

So go grab a seat at the Artscape; a giggle or two should help keep you warm this winter.
