THE STAGE PRODUCTION

Feedback was written by the highly-acclaimed South African actor, director, playwright and drama professor, Andrew Buckland. It premiered at the Standard Bank National Festival of the Arts in July 1994, under the direction of Janet Buckland for Mouthpeace Productions. It immediately met with great success and the script won the 1994 FNB Vita Playwright of the Year award.

Feedback was subsequently featured in a season at the Market Theatre in Johannesburg in December 1994, where it received the comic input of another of South Africa's theatre greats, Lionel Newton. Andrew and Lionel had previously worked together on the hugely successful "Bloodstream".

After this successful season, the trio took the play to the Edinburgh Festival where it earned a Scotsman Fringe First award and was commissioned for a season at the South Bank Centre in London.
Nine years and hundreds of performances later the play continues to pack houses and now looks set to makes its debut in New York.

Feedback is the dramatic account of the events surrounding the infamous encounter between D'Earth, head of the D'Earth Foodstuffs Multinational, and the legendary Mother Myrth, including the Great Cheeses Revolt of 2043, as well as some incidents from the Foodstuff Revolution.

It is a murder-mystery that cunningly explores topics as diverse as food-consciousness and globalization. Poignant, hilarious, lyrical, satirical, action-intensive, quirky and thoroughly entertaining, Feedback is a powerfully satiric and hilariously fantastical celebration of humanity and our capacity for greed and altruism.
