It’s an intricate plot, laced with some subversive humour – that the female character is simply called ‘The Woman’ (Molly Lynch), for instance, is itself a kind of commentary on how women were treated a century ago. There is an objection to some of the more overtly misogynistic lyrics (in the show within the show), arguably from a surprising source, but the discussions around what could or should be sacrificed to make a show more appealing have some contemporary applicability.

DANBURY, CT - The Western CT State University Department of Theatre Arts opened their Spring Virtual Production Series with the play SWEAT, written by Lynn Nottage. The production was directed and adapted to the screen by Tim Howard.
Since the series is scheduled to include four productions, I was surprised to discover that this was a fully-staged version of the play, convincingly acted by the WCSU students. I was expecting The editing of the stream may not have been flawless, but overall it was very, very good, making the two acts a pleasure for me to watch.twice, actually.

Major David Clarke CVO, ADC may well be among Barbados’ little known but highly accomplished and decorated citizens. Yet, this military man, who has been given the mammoth assignment of co-coordinating the vaccination of Barbados’ population against COVID-19, remains quite reserved about his achievements.
The high-ranking officer of the Barbados Defence Force (BDF) paused his hectic schedule recently to speak to COVID Weekly about the COVID-19 vaccination programme which he leads along with Dr Elizabeth Ferdinand.
Interrupted several times by telephone calls, he responded to each with measured tones, before seamlessly resuming his interview. This, he explained, was typical of his daily routine, even before the logistical public health mission was added to his long list of tasks.
