NOEL AND GERTIE

The Hexagon Theatre and Project Gateway are thrilled to present a delightful fundraising dinner and musical show with Noel and Gertie – In Love Again.

The scene is a cocktail bar in Jamaica, in the 1960’s. A rather bored Noel Coward, ‘Master’ of English comedy, is unexpectedly reunited with his former co-star; the incomparable, gorgeous Gertrude Lawrence.

In the brief, deliciously funny encounter that follows, Noel and his blithe spirit and divine muse, the mischievous Gertie, relive their greatest stage successes, reminisce about their glory days – and sing the songs that made them the toast of the West End, Broadway – and the entire theatre world.

Unforgettable songs like A Room With A View, Mad About The Boy, I’ll See You Again, Some Day I’ll Find You, The Stately Homes of England, Don’t Let’s Be Beastly To The Germans, Mad Dogs and Englishmen, London Pride - and the wickedly funny ‘honeymoon scene’ from Noel’s smash hit, Private Lives.

With experience that stretches from London’s Ritz Hotel to the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-upon-Avon, Cat Simoni and Paul Spence are delighted to offer an enchanted evening, touched by the comedic genius of two of the world’s greatest theatrical talents.

Noel and Gertie – In Love Again has performances from July 26 to 28 at 19h00 for 19h30. Tickets R200 (50% donation to Project Gateway) include a three-course meal (tables seat 10) and there is a cash bar. Bookings on 033 260 5537 or e-mail: hexagon@ukzn.ac.za
