Three Solos and a Quartet
The Market Theatre and Die Suidoosterfees, with support from the National Afrikaans Theatre Initiative, will produce and premiere my four-person play, The Good White at 16:30 on Thursday 1 May (Workers' Day) with a second performance the next day at 17.00 at Artscape.
I will stage three solo works during the course of that week at the Avalon Theatre, the upstairs space at the Homecoming Centre of the District Six Museum, from Monday 28 April (a public holiday - Freedom Day) to Saturday 3 May.
Two of the shows are currently in production - To Life, With Love featuring John Maytham and I Can Buy Myself Flowers performed by Erika Breytenbach.
The third show is the premiere run of So Over The Rainbow, a multi-sketch satirical piece in the vein of My Fellow South Africans and which is performed by Rondo Mpiti-Spies from Bloemfontein.
To Life, With Love will be performed for the first three days of the mini-festival, while the two other shows will be performed each day. The times vary each day to allow patrons to choose the combinations they would like to see should they have seen any of of the two currently in production.
Tickets for all the shows may be purchased through https://webtickets.co.za
