PopCom
promises an entertainment tour de
force presented by LIFT Entertainment in association with the Playhouse
Company and supported by the Indian Cultural Centre.
PopCom utilises a variety of comedy styles, music and dance to present
anecdotes and stories about the Indian and Coloured communities in Durban.
The different comedy sketches include a
look at gambling grannies, peculiar crime solving techniques, racism causing
erectile dysfunction, corrupt traffic policemen and a satirical news bulletin
called Minority Report. The show
features a kaleidoscope of memorable characters that audiences will recognize
and appreciate. Although the themes of the show are adult in nature, the
language is not profane in any way, so PopCom
can be enjoyed by the whole family.
PopCom is directed by Ashwin
Singh who has written the script with Kajal Maharaj and Nesan Pather. Choreography
is by Kajal Maharaj and Derosha Moodley.
The production features Rory Booth, Kajal
Maharaj, Derosha Moodley, Nesan Pather, Ashwin Singh and Shona Johnson.
Performances take place from October 5 to
13 at the Playhouse Loft. Booking is at Computicket.
