Drama New Zealand congratulates WSB as it celebrates its 20th Anniversary in Port Vila in a two week Festival. The opening night performance at the Chiefs' Nakamal by the high octane Polytoxic Dance Drama company from Brisbane, was a real crowd pleaser. And last night's performance of 40 Dei, by Wan Smolbag was a stand out in terms of its great acting, superb singing, assured direction and challenging script. A packed audience were both entertained and provoked by Jo Dorras' script which looks at the role of religion in Vanuatu today. It spoke volumes about the way in which the church can be compromised by corruption and confuse people in vulnerable communities. If many of the actors look familiar to NZ visitors, it's because they have been seeen on Maori Television in their WSB series of Love Patrol.
