Nassau, Bahamas - On October 1, 2015 when many in Nassau were understandably bracing themselves for the unpredictable Hurricane Joaquin the cast and crew were faced with the difficult task of deciding whether to postpone the Premiere performance scheduled for the College of the Bahamas, Performance Art Centre that evening. It was then that Gea Pierre, the play’s writer and director, made a decision that has become the theme of her life recently, the show must go on, and go on it did! The audience was treated to a stellar show to which the Hon. Obediah Wilchombe, Minister of Tourism called a “Supreme performance” and others referred to as a masterpiece production.

“Perfect In Weakness” first took the stage on April 10, 2015 in Grand Bahama and has been a hit ever since. The production staged eight encore shows in Freeport all too sold-out audiences, proving that the demand for quality, family entertainment is far greater than anticipated. The Play which stars, Bahamian favorites such as Patrice Johnson, Will Stubbs, Tawari Rodgers and Tameka Forbes follows Curtis the comical Landlord, played, by Stubbs and the antics of his brazen tenants. According to Pierre “at its core “Perfect In Weakness” is a production about tragedy and triumph, home and hope”, she says that although she has been writing plays for twenty years “Prefect In Weakness” is her most acclaimed to date. “There is something about this production” says Pierre “it resonates with people on a personal level, there is a character on that stage that represents everyone.”

Audience members have called “Perfect In Weakness” a must see, roller coaster of emotions, they are moved from laughter, to anger, tears to joy instantly. When asked if this production can be described as comedy or drama, Pierre smiles and quickly states “A good production is neither. “ She believes that this work reflects Bahamian life, it is effortlessly humorous, unpredictably emotional and painstakingly honest.”
