{"product_id":"9781868143542","title":"Love, Crime and Johannesburg A Musical","description":"‘Why bother to rob a bank, when you can own a bank?’ asked Bertold Brecht. The question is reiterated in the very Brechtian Love, Crime and Johannesburg, the story of Jimmy ‘Long Legs’ Mangane, a people’s poet involved in the struggle, who is accused of robbing a bank. He passionately asserts his innocence, claiming to work for the ‘secret secret service’.\nLewis, his old friend and comrade from the struggle, now owns a bank. How did this happen? The man of the struggle is now a man of accounts. A man of the nineties. Part of the cell phone generation. Added to the mix is an old-style gangster, two girlfriends, a Jewish father and a very unusual Chief of Police.\nDescribed as one of the first genuine post-apartheid plays, Love, Crime and Johannesburg is a witty, light-hearted account of life in the City of Gold at the turn of the millennium. A must for all students of South African theatre. Winner of the 2000 Vita Award for best script of a new South African Play.","brand":"Booksite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39357987979379,"sku":"9781868143542","price":190.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/products\/9781868143542.jpg?v=1667475398","url":"https:\/\/www.readerswarehouse.shop\/products\/9781868143542","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
