Let My Enemy Live Long!

Tickets and Information

One of the treasures of last year's theater season was Tanya Shaffer's dramatic account of her trip up the Niger River to Timbuktu. Fresh from a volunteer stint in Ghana and tired of being seen as "a misguided white lady who wants to help," Ms. Shaffer embarked on a highly unrecommended journey that would bring her in contact with a variety of men, women and children for whom race and privilege have meanings entirely different from hers. The play takes its title from a wise African proverb (think about it) and is brilliantly supported by a percussion and string accompaniment. Ms. Shaffer's keen observations of the trip, like the battered journal she kept to record them, are a wonderful recreation of the cultural connections made and missed along the way. 20 half-price tickets go on sale at noon Tuesday through Friday for that evening's performance.
