Betio’s brother having an operation. Albert is at the hospital. Not just because his baby is still in an incubator but also because his neighbour has just been shot and beaten to death by the VMF. He was one of the escapees and Albert had to make a statement to the police , not quite clear why. The inevitable has happened and whilst many shout ‘I gud ia’ others of us just see it as one more step towards the cesspit of violence that Vanuatu seems to want to become. Another incident witnessed by one of our actors yesterday. A large group of women got hold of a another woman who had been sleeping with one of their husbands. They beat her up very badly and shoved Pima up her vagina. She is in hospital.
So we delay the run through till one of Betio or Albert can join us. There’s one song about a drunken fight that we have never put in and we spend an hour and a half doing that.
And the run through in the afternoon is the best yet. Albert’s performance particularly given how many things are happening in his life is astounding. Our intern from East 15 hugely impressed. Mike watched it for the first time and said it was so powerful he couldn’t see how we could outdo this one! The second half in light of the mornings news of the death of a prisoner seemed even more scary.
Straight afterwards Titus off to have 4 more teeth out
