YOU STRIKE A WOMAN: YOU STRIKE A ROCK

A workshopped play, utilizing the title of the signature song of the 1956 women’s march as its title and theme and dealing with the trials and tribulations of three women in Crossroads squatter camp outside Cape Town.

Although You Strike a Woman, You Strike a Rock has comic elements, it reveals the harsh conditions that women had to endure just to make ends meet as well as the sacrifices that they had to make, by leaving their families behind and going to sell chickens at a local taxi rank.

This play will make the audience laugh, whilst at the same time opening their minds to the realities of how strong women are, yet so undermined at the same time.
