The Market Theatre has announced its upcoming productions and events thru December 2010.

The Pen tells the story of a young playwright, Sipho, in the throes of writing a new play. Beset by writers block, the writer is lured into a seductive journey with his Muse, Thandi. The boundaries between fantasy and reality become blurred as he begins to live in an increasingly illusionary world dominated by his sexy, assertive writing goddess. His girlfriend Pinky, innocently drawn into his passionate internal world, soon starts to suffer as she comes to understand the depths of Sipho's passion for Thandi. 'The Pen' runs from January 18 - February 21, 2010.
