New page

''Friday's Bread on Monday'' is a collage of serious sketches on life in New Brighton Township (Port Elizabeth, South Africa) created circa 1970 by the [[Serpent Players]]. Although it deals with deprivation it is not a cry for sympathy. It is built mainly on mime.

== Performance history in South Africa ==
Presented on tour by the [[Serpent Players]] in a double bill with ''[[The Cure]]'', directed by [[John Kani]], 1970.

== Sources ==
''[[S'ketsh']]'', July 1972, 17.

-A collage of serious sketches on life in New Brighton Township (Port Elizabeth, South Africa) created in 1967 by the [[Serpent Players]], witnessed by the actors, it makes use of mime to a large extent. Based a real-life incident, it concerns a group of boys, who trek across town to buy three-day-old bread because Brito’s Bakery sold it at a cheaper price on Monday. Although it deals with deprivation it is not a cry for sympathy.
