Most interesting, of course, was that this history was going to be told through their lense of watching American television and movies that was available to them in various parts of Africa (some quite primitive).  The actors took on crudely powdered white face and blonde wigs, and wore ragged pieces of period costume pieces.  The play was set in a huge thrust stage that gave them an empty floor larger than a basketball court to bring in all their wooden creations of jails, shacks, stores, railroads tracks, etc.  The play’s highlights were the history of the Native Americans and the their version of the Wild Wild West.  It was fascinating to see how the South Africans could empathize with the Indians.  Other than the Buffalos, the stories were the same.  As for the Wild, Wild West – or as they called it, “White Lives Don’t Matter.” It was hilarious and grim to see how our television and movies and painted a picture of us halfway across the globe. It exposed how desperate situations create unimaginable levels of corruption, greed and cruelty. Dark Moon is unique and conceptionally ground-breaking. The play was terrific.  The message first rate.  The theatre was being used in the best possible way!
