The Mask: A play performed by the PEP Street Theatre Project
-
Room: IMBIZO Hall 4B
Facilitator: Astrid von Koetze (PEP Street Theatre Project)
This is a play devised and performed by the PEP Street Theatre Project. The play tackles the issue of TB with questions such as
- How do you know whether you may have TB?
- How do you catch TB – and what should you do if you suspect infection?
- Why is there such a stigma attached to TB?
- How does the high rate of infection in poor areas exacerbate the stigma?
- What can we do about it?
- How do you cure TB?
The purpose of the play is to entertain and educate: it gives information and it challenges the audience to break the silence around TB. The performance is suitable for all audiences.
