What Was, Was!
What Was, Was! is a revue devised by Gertie Awerbuch, Morris Awerbuch and Miriam Lopert. A pot-pourri of songs and sketches, it poked affectionate fun at the ways of the Jewish community.
Performance history in South Africa
Presented by Trio Productions at the Jewish Guild Theatre in 1965 with a cast of professionals including Charles Stodel, June Hern and Michael Fisher. So popular was Gertie's revue that she did another season at the Guild, and still another at the Alexander Theatre that same year.
