UNPLUGGED

For a limited three-week season, some of Durban’s finest musos, namely Barry Thomson, Andy Turrell, Marion Loudon and Calli Thomson, collaborate to produce two hours of pure, honest “unplugged” sounds.

“Join us in our “lounge” for some Spring-time “Kick-Back Therapy”, and we’re not talking bribes here,” invites the Heritage Theatre. “The group, together with the Heritage Theatre’s Gary McKenzie, have compiled a repertoire of some of the finest songs ever written to guarantee that you unwind, relax and sing along while enjoying the Heritage Theatre’s fine food and wine.”

Expect songs made famous by artists, including Jack Johnson, Norah Jones, Bruce Hornsby, Sting, Vanessa Carleton, America, Rod Stewart and The Eagles, as well as some of the all-time classic unplugged sounds of Layla, Romeo & Juliet and Boat On The River. All this with the Heritage’s original unplugged renditions of rock classics like Smoke on the Water and Fat Bottomed Girls.

To entice audiences out for an evening of pure escapism, The Heritage have introduced a Spring season of recession-busting ticket prices.

Unplugged runs at the Heritage Theatre in Hillcrest from August 31 to September 19. Tickets R150 from Tuesday to Thursday with Friday and Saturday tickets at R190 (R165 Sunday lunchtimes) include a two-course meal. There is also the “show-only” option of R100 per person.
