Enjoy a night out at the theatre with a few new friends.
Due to the excellent selection, there are going to be two theatre night out events in November, and all it will cost you is the theatre ticket price, so hope you’ll join for: The Girl in the Yellow Dress AND/OR Viva La Vida.
Contact me if you’d like me get you tickets. { e-mail }
THE GIRL IN THE YELLOW DRESS
Market Theatre, Newtown. { Website | MAP }
Tuesday 16th November. Ticket price: R60.
Facebook event
Brimming with humour, rage and longing, this celebrated new South African play provides a minute exploration of an increasingly hazardous romantic entanglement and an insight into some of the tensions between the ‘first’ and ‘third’ worlds. Part psychological thriller and part a State of the Nation analysis, it tackles issues such as language, power, identity, sex, past trauma, class, exile and refugees – tensions that run through South African society and beyond.
REVIEW: The title sounds lightweight and inconsequential, but this is a glorious and intense piece of theatre for the theatre-going cognoscenti. For people looking for brilliant acting, a challenging, thought-provoking script, witty dialogue, and tight direction where every moment is flawless. It’s an evening that rewards the intellect rather than a show that washes over you with mindless entertainment. – Lesley Stones { Read }
