FUSsa-talk Mailing List: Re: about that Darfur play at Guthrie

[Adele Hansen (hanse002]

Excellent!

I went last night.  The reading is good, not sad or trite, just 
telling it like it is.  The ARC is doing stupendous work in a 
terrifying location (see last week's NEWSWEEK). Jerry Farrell 
mentioned the danger all aid workers are encountering in the latest 
push by the Sudanese government to rid the nation of any outsiders.
I've got a small flyer announcement I'm posting on the SA bulletin 
board tomorrow.
