Heartstrings' new play within a play could do with some fine-tuning

The best thing about Heartstrings’ latest production, Give or Take which they staged last weekend at Alliance Francaise, was the merciless mockery of themselves as an inept, money-grubbing theatre troupe.

Equally laudable was the lampooning of the group’s producer-director Sammy Mwangi who was ‘missing in action' despite having been paid hundreds of thousands to share with his cast, which he did not. Instead, Mwangi disappeared without having briefed his team.
