    What must Erica Wessels do to get the credit she deserves?
    If you are in need of a quirky, dark dramedy you've come to the right place. this is one of those fun park rides that you get on and by the time the ride comes to an end you are not quite sure if you are where you think you are. This is what "The Wizard of Oz" would have been if instead of waking up back in Kansas Dorothy had woken imprisoned by flying monkeys. Director Judy Naidoo should be tremendously proud of this one.

    Erica Wessels absolutely steals the show here. After loving her comedy "Alles Wat Mal Is" I was interested to see her more dramatic side, a darker side and I got that in spades. What can't she do????
