...verdict was plainly intended as a warning to leaders of South Africa's non-Dutch churches, who constitute a significant anti-apartheid force even though their laymen often favor the regime's policy.

When they aren't singing, the company takes turns playing whites and blacks shooting each other. (The politics of Wait a Minim are strongly anti-apartheid, by the way.) Absurdity runs rings around absurdity; only the songs keep chaos from taking over...
