THE VENUS HOTTENTOT'S
EXTREME MAKEOVER

This exciting new musical was originally produced as a staged reading for Vox Nova Theatre
Company's first Festival of New Plays in Summer 2008.
The new musical work chronicles the odyssey of a young black woman and her quest for self-
knowledge as she struggles with body image, relationships and societal pressures to be “the
perfect woman.” The past and present intersect – at LAX of all places – as the wandering
ancestral spirit of one Saartjie Baartman (aka The Venus Hottentot) meets a contemporary
actress named Sara.
