Semi-Circle Theater Group - Don't Drink The Water, Gadget Guru - 5G Mobile

The Semi-Circle is a non-profit theatre group founded in 1975 and based in Basel. The theatre group operates entirely with volunteers. It is their aim to bring to life on stage dramatic works in the English language - and the next one coming up is Woody Allen's "Don't Drink The Water". The play was written in 1966, opened on Broadway the same year and ran for two years. The plot involves an American family who rush into a US embassy in an Eastern European country behind the Iron Curtain with the secret police on their tail who suspect them of spying. Mayhem ensues. Performances are on June 13, 14, 15 and 20, 21, 22 at the Theater Tabourettli on Spalenberg. Director Luca Manganelli and Semi-Circle president Michael Bray came in to give us the details. Listen to the interview again here.
