Lea Dunbar, Mandi Knipe and Claire van den Heever have all three studied drama with Jaqueline Dommisse since Grade 8. Passing their Trinity College exams, achieving outstanding results at the Eisteddfod annually and taking part in school productions. Iit was decided as a final project to take on the real world and mount a professional show. The three actors were joined by musician Lindy Clarke, who doubling up as the  musical director,  performed and accompanied the songs on keyboard and guitar. Mandy van Niekerk became involved as stage manager. They are all students at Wynberg Girl’s High, although the schoolgirl angle was not one that was stressed. What was particularly  important to the group was that they were good and young.

But what exactly was eve … olution ? For those of you who missed it, eve … olution was a theatrical music review: imagine an all girl rock group, combined with a sort of late-night alternative intellectual poetry reading ; add a dash of stand-up comedy and you might just start to describe eve…olution It was a show created by and about women, focusing on issues that affect women - but in ways that were entertaining and informative. eve … olution was an hour of songs and stories, some side-splittingly funny and others very serious, offering an irreverent, but definitively thought-provoking take on young women and Feminism at the end of the Millennium.
