BORN IN THE RSA

New show at uShaka Marine World’s Upper Deck

“Pap, wors, braaivleis and biltong! Can you believe that we gloss over the fantastic talent we have in our own country and stick to American or British music! Yet, we have amazing sounds and rhythms right in our own backyard. Eish! Isn’t it time we celebrated our very own “cruel, crazy, beautiful world?”

So says the publicity material about Born in the RSA, the latest show at uShaka Marine World’s Upper Deck. This is a proudly South African production about two characters – Rob and Bunz - from different worlds within the same country who find their common ground through music.

Featuring Rob Warren and the ZAFFA band as well as the immensely talented Bandile Hlope, this show celebrates the vibrant and colourful place that is South Africa today. It moves from the country’s political woes to its many triumphs - Madiba as the country’s hero, the Rugby World Cup and finally the Soccer World Cup.

The show features songs from South Africa’s big names - Mango Groove, Johnny Clegg, Freshly Ground, The Parlotones and Miriam Makeba as well as those that are sadly seldom featured in supper theatre shows – Just Jinjer, the late great Lucky Dube, Syd Kitchen, the Springbok Nude Girls and more …

Born in the RSA runs until July 10 from Thursdays to Saturdays at the Upper Deck supper theatre venue on the Phantom Ship at uShaka Marine World. Show tickets R60 excluding, food and beverages. Booking through Computicket. For more information call 031 328 8107.
