South Africa’s Master of Mirth, that inimitable mind behind The Loser, The Golfer, DOF, The Stand-up, Reality Bytes, and a string of other hits, sets his sights on the high-powered corporate world to show that he means business and that business is no small laughing matter. It’s huge, it’s multinational, it’s global, it’s hit-listed. It’s Aaron McIlroy @ Work.
The production features unforgettable characters, including a mister corporate charisma, Cornelius Prewitt Layder and a gender equality secretary Dustin (camp Gate Keeper to the Portals of God) and other hilarious characters whose attitude to the principles of business success pop, sizzle, crack or fizzle.
McIlroy @ Work is another collaborative work between McIlroy and award-winning actress and writer, Susan Monteregge. They have previously joined forces to create some of MacBob’s most notable hits, including The Loser, The Stand-Up and Defending the Planet.
Celebrating their creative reunion, Monteregge, who now lives in the United Kingdom, says: “Working on original works with Aaron is always a business rich with irrational exuberance. I run the consultancy – and with Aaron’s prodigious performance abilities I’m always happy to wildly overestimate our chance of success.”
Aaron McIlroy @ Work is running as a supper theatre format at the Alexander Playhouse, Cambridge, East London, until July 15. Booking is through Lee Gold Music on 043 735 1586.
