The Market Theatre's THE PEN Plays Its Final Show on Feb. 21.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.

Although Pinky attempts to resuscitate the romance, she is frustrated by the fact that her rival in love, Thandi, is emerging as the perfect woman, the stuff every man's dreams.

This is a tale about the difficulties of writing and of star-crossed lovers, told with great verve by author Monde Mayephu and all-star cast, featuring Sello Maake ca-Ncube, Mabatho Mokgomotsi and Zandi Msotwane, and directed by Mpho J Molepo
