Written and performed by Thomie Holtzhausen, Another Man’s Poison hilariously explores the insecurities and sexuality of men. The play is tagged as “a play that shouldn’t be seen by women or the faint hearted” and has been directed by the multi-award winning Clare Mortimer with the very talented Anthony Stonier commenting on the script on piano.
The setting – a bar somewhere. The main character - a barman. He has observed people and listened to stories seldom heard anywhere else than in a pub and concluded that men do want to talk. All that is required is a bit of setting up; no candles, not even music, just the ever popular poison in a bottle.
Holtzhausen portrays several characters telling their stories of love, lust and adventure with deadly consequences. Sometimes poignant, sometimes over-the top and hilarious and other times rather daring. The barman interacts with the characters whilst Stonier as the Pianist constantly comments and underscores the play. A brilliant combination.
Another Man’s Poison opens at Seabrooke’s Theatre on March 30 and runs until April 10. Tickets through Ailsa on 083 250 2690.
