Galatea Theatre presents The Secret Life of a Bellydancer, by Geoff Allen and directed by Elena Stejko.
Take your group out this December 2011 to see a play about Bellydance!
The promise:
One night of the most exotic dancing you will ever see - the costumes, the music. Be transported to another world. In New Zealand, thousands of Kiwi women secretly go to Bellydance classes every week. This is their story.
The story:
Returning from a failed marriage to an Egyptian man, Jamila has to work stacking shelves in her father’s supermarket. When the check-out girls witness her belly dancing in the aisles they persuade her to teach them - secretly.
The review: 'the story is told refreshingly thanks to Geoff Allen's masterfully written script. Allen has nailed his characters and their banter is fast-paced, colloquial and utterly believable. What about the dancing? Oh, the dancing! Tais Derbasova choreographed the show and performs as Delilah's star pupil, Veruska. It's fair to say every woman in the audience wanted to be her (yes, I went home and looked up classes), or at least move one part of their body as gracefully as she.
'Check out The Secret Life of a Bellydancer if you get chance (and get up and dance at the end if you're brave). It's a great feel-good play and a whole lot of fun.'
