Romeo and Juliet - An East Coast Story
It has long been a tradition in Durban to celebrate the festive season with a trip to the naughty adult pantomime : a well-known story with a decidedly grown up twist, a smattering of well-known songs and a fair number of risque one-liners.
This year it’s one of the world’s most loved stories - “ Romeo and Juliet- an East Coast Story” … and nothing is sacred.
Under the scripting and direction of Darren King it is set right here in Durbs - the east coast - of the late 1950’s - the time of rock ‘n roll!!
Some of the characters in the show:
Come and meet: Anita, ever hopeful to land the catch of the season, played by the glamorous Anthony Stonier; Nieland Sakkie de Kock from Chubby security ( Rowan Bartlett); Tye Bolt, a surfer dude from Toti ( Clinton Small); Gladys Totseli, Maria’s nanny (Thomie Holthausen); and of course Mr Tony Romeo and Miss Maria Juliet themselves, played by Jacobus van Heerden and Katy Moore…not to mention a host of other equally Shalespearean (??!!) characters.
With plenty of irreverent humour, local references, songs you all know and all the glitz and glamour synonymous with the Adult Panto, it is a wonderfully grown up night out for companies, clubs and associations as well as groups and couples looking for a fun way to celebrate the festive season.
Come and rock ‘n roll!!!!!!
