Gas Girls
by Donna-Michelle St. Bernard
As friends and prostitutes,
Gigi and Lola live by one motto: love for gas, gas for cash, cash for
living, living for love. Living in Zimbabwe’s depressed economy, both
women live day-by-day, plying their trade with the truck drivers that
stop at the border. Gigi knows the limitations of her trade, while her
young protégé, Lola, looks for love in every man that comes her way.
Lola’s brother, Chickn, ekes out his own living while keeping an ever-watchful
eye for Gigi’s affections and Lola’s safety. But love is not a luxury
these girls can afford. Through story, song, and play, Gigi and Lola
inspire each other to find joy on the edges of survival.
“Dark, ponderous, and stirring,
it’s an impressionable storytelling vehicle that gets surprising mileage
from a cast that holds on tight and simply doesn’t let go.”
