FRAMEWORK OFFERS INNOVATIVE VENUE AT NAF

The Framework Team invites those attending the National Arts Festival to join them to celebrate the opening of this new venue of Johannesburg productions. Opening on June 30 to continue throughout the festival, the venue will be known as The Eatery Drill Hall, Hill Street Grahamstown

The Johannesburg-based theatre company The Framework will run an exciting new venue for food and theatre lovers at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown this year. The Drill Hall on Hill Street gets a fresh new look as this innovative crew of independent theatre-makers take over the space for ‘11 days of amazing’ to curate a feast of shows and a warm place to refuel at The Eatery bar and restaurant.

The daily programme includes a series of drama workshops for teens and adults called Flying Lessons, popular 2010 hit Kaput by Fresco theatre company, ovation-award winning drama Sie Weiss Alles by James Cairns, comedy and physical theatre Fallen and Discounted, topped off with The Framework’s edgy new brand of semi-improvised theatre, Tactics.

The Eatery will produce mouth-watering buffet-style festival fare, so be tempted out of the cold while answering the Drill Hall Collective’s call: ‘Good theatre needs you’.
