World Premiere of As Madames (the play)
The World Premiere of As Madames (the play) at the Centro Cultural University in Maputo, Mozambique on Friday, September 15, 2023. It was absolutely brilliant, thanks to a breath-taking adaptation by Evaristo Abreu and inspired casting, marvellous acting and kickass directing by Clotilde Guirrugo.
Maputo came out in numbers on a Friday evening. Their laughter filled me with joy and the book-buying post show was the cherry on top. Totes chuffed to see high school friend Honana Ndelana and fellow scribes like Virgilia Ferrao, Melio Tinga, Mauro Brito, and Mia Couto come out to support.
Muito obrigado, Maputo. My heart is fuller than my wine glass😘.
