Wickedly amusing satire at Baxter theatre |
|
|
|
|

THE Durban writer/actor/director Greig Coetzee has written a "wickedly amusing satire" - Happy Natives - which wowed international critics and audiences at last year's Edinburgh Festival, and is currently on a nation-wide tour which kicked off at the National Arts Festival in June.
The play can be seen at the Sanlam Studio Baxter Theatre until 2 August.
Coetzee is joined by the well-known Sello Sebotsane in this absorbing snapshot of modern South African life.
The pair play a host of characters - a total of eight or so roles, including the main characters, friends "Kenneth" (Coetzee) and "Mto" (Sebotsane) as well as a woman TV project manager, a domestic worker, a patronising gun-toting ex-border guard and a cultural minister.
Happy Natives is presented by B&R Productions in association with Soho Theatre in London and is directed by Christine Harmar-Brown. For more information, phone 680-3971. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
DIE toneelstuk "Anna en die Engel", met Pedro Kruger en Marion Holm is op Maandag, Woensdag en Vrydag 18 Julie te sien in die High Street Teater in Durbanville.
'n Bedelaar met 'n rasidentiteitskrisis, 'n petrolsnuiwer, 'n verbleikte skoonheidskoningin, 'n vrou wie se vuur dood is en 'n engel wie se vere van stres uitval - net jou gemiddelde disfunksionele Afrikaanse huisgesin? Met oorspronklike Afrikaanse liedjies is dit nog 'n musiekteater-ervaring uit die pen van Hennie van Greunen.
* Op 15, 17 en 19 Julie is Margit Meyer-Rödenbeck daar met "Jong Dames Dinamiet". Die JDD-tak van Bulfontein vergader weer. Almal dra pastelpakkies en ongemaklike skoene - maar dan begin dinge uitmekaar val...
* Op 23 en 24 Julie vermaak sanger Jannie Moolman die gehoor. Hy is lid van die groep Ons Eie Drie en het al in 'n magdom operas gesing.
* Op 25 en 26 Julie is dit Suiwer Sarah se beurt - Sarah Theron, met Melissa van der Spuy (klavier) en Bruce Muirhead (bas en kitaar).
