This week's South African Literature class had quite a change of pace. Instead of the usual reading and discussion format, Mary West assigned a play
Ubu and the Truth Commission to read - and
perform!
Everyone got in the act. Each flat acted out one of the five acts, so quite a few people got a chance to play Ma or Pa Ubu.

| Ryan as Ma Ubu - being manipulated! |
Here are a few of the scenes:
 |
Three-headed "Dogs of War"
(I don't think they look fierce enough, do you?) |
 |
| Kelcey as Ma Ubu, ratting Pa out on tabloid TV |
 |
| Margaret nailed the headscarf! |
A few thespians were singled out for "Academy Awards" by their fellow students.
Oscar for Best Prop: Liz Stocker's Hair!

Truth Commission |

Tucker as Pa, being manipulated!
Tucker spoke in Afrikaans, with a German accent |
 |
| Shaz had memorized her lines |
Oscar for Best Actress, in a Leading Role - Nominees/Tied: Shazreh Ahmed, Kelcey Kryzer, and... (drum roll) Andrew Johnson!
 |
| Kelcey as Ma gave Pa a piece of her mind! |
 |
| But, how do you compete with this? |
