Three women meet in an Edinburgh pub. A Canadian, a coloured and
white South African. 'Welcome to the new South Africa!' - ironic, moving, funny and
politically (in)correct look at oppression, freedom and food!
“Writer/performer Michelle van Rensburg is a great talent”.-
THE LIST
In
a comedy revue bar somewhere in Edinburgh three women meet up for a drink. The American
thinks she's funny, the pretty blonde is a mess and her childhood friend - as sweet as
saccharine - is just wanting to catch up.
The
American, the Coloured and Me is a new writing that takes a candid look at what is going
on in the minds of South Africans abroad eighteen years after Apartheid. The blonde,
Vanessa, is divorced, remarried and about to divorce again. Carrie, her Canadian friend
thinks her addiction to food and bulimia is a laughing matter and is trying to turn it
into stand up. Sumeya is a happily married
missionary from the dark continent.
Three
different women from three different worlds taking a look at the history they have in common. “van Rensburg’s contrived sexuality is very funny”
