With lyrics like those, Truth in Translation will probably not be going to Broadway. The musical, which dramatizes the work of translators at South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, is going to far more interesting places. Since opening in Rwanda last August, it has played Johannesburg and Cape Town, and is now set for runs in Liberia, the Balkans and Northern Ireland, before ending up way off Broadway at the basement Colonnades Theater Lab in New York City. Director and Colonnades founder Michael Lessac says his aim is to tell the story of an "evolutionary step for humanity...

...government took a decision to approve the international tribunal. There was a withdrawal of the members of the cabinet belonging to Hizballah and Amal [another militant Shi'a party]. In July and August, the Israelis invaded Lebanon on the pretext that Hizballah crossed the blue line. The irony here is that when Israel came to Lebanon in 1982, the justification was they wanted to finish the PLO. What actually happened is that they did not finish the PLO. But they laid the seeds for the creation of Hizballah...
