Known for delighting audiences with familiar stories, the Dingalings paved the way for stand-up comedy and adult humour in Durban.
Audience can prepare for a side-splitting extravaganza as they return in grand style.
“The production takes a fun look at two new ‘inmates’ in an old age home and their various adventures with over zealous nurses, corrupt guards and frisky old ladies,” Naidoo explained.
“Audiences can expect the same zaniness from both Henry and myself, crazy comedy interspersed with fantastic and song raunchy songs.”
The show is also available for fund-raising purposes.
Where: The Globe at Suncoast Casino.
When: Saturday, January 27, at 8pm.
Cost: R120 - R150 via Ticketpro. Age restriction 16. For fundraising performances contact Kay on 083 793 9969.
“The King of Broken Things”
Theatre actress Cara Roberts returns once again in “The King of Broken Things”, to take audience on a journey into the dismantled heart of a young boy.
Written and directed by Michael Taylor-Broderick, the award-winning production will be at Shlesinger Theatre, Michaelhouse tonight (Friday, February 26).
Through his love for discarded objects, the play is set to teach audiences about the importance of reparation and how all things - seen and unseen - can be mended.
There are also lessons about how new things can be created from the old.
In addition, the show touches on ancient Japanese traditions, mythology and dreams, and reminds one of the magic that exists everywhere.
“’The King of Broken Things’ is a timely reminder to us all to think about the world and the repercussions of our actions, thoughts, and the things we say.”
“And how we mere mortals would do well to dwell more on the magic words – imagine, believe, and dream,” said Broderick.
Where: Shlesinger Theatre, Michaelhouse.
When: Friday, February 26 at 7pm.
Cost: R80 via Quicket.
