Picture
This delightful foyer show is a nostalgic and hilarious trip back to the 1920s. It promises an evening of laughter and song with comedy sketches from the pen of legendary American wit DOROTHY PARKER. At the height of her career in the 1920s and 1930s (her younger years), she is still remembered for quips like “Men don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses” and many more.

Devised by Margaret Hill and directed by Celia Musikanth, the show stars Pamela Burger, Kelly Kowalski and Gary Green with vocals by Aubrey Hindle and John Aron at the piano.

So come along for a sparkling evening of fun in 1920s style or just as you are.

Performances: Saturday 1 & Sunday 2 February at 20:00
Tickets: R75 (R65 for Theatre Club)
Light refreshments will be for sale

An aspiring young architect in Terre Haute, Indiana, Willum Cubbert has often told his friends about the debt he owes to Rick Steadman, a fellow ex-GI whom he has never met but who saved his life after he was seriously wounded in Vietnam. He has written to Rick to say that, as long as he is alive, "you will have somebody on Earth who will do anything for you"—so Willum is delighted when Rick shows up unexpectedly at his apartment on the night of his thirty-fourth birthday party. But his delight soon fades as it becomes apparent that Rick is a hopeless "nerd"—a bumbling oaf with no social sense, little intelligence and less tact. And Rick stays on and on. His continued presence among Willum and his friends leading to one uproarious incident after another, until the normally placid Willum finds himself contemplating violence—a dire development which, happily, is staved off by the surprising "twist" ending of the play.
