Fresh from sold-out performances in
Grahamstown, the Hilton Festival and Johannesburg to the Hexagon Theatre in
Pietermaritzburg, comes the delightful fast-paced comedy, Sunday Morning, performed by James Cuningham and directed by Jenine
Collocott.
Mat is a successful photographer who has
his life exactly how he likes it - ordered, neat, and beautifully composed -
until the day his girlfriend tells him she is pregnant. In an attempt to
process this disturbing information, he goes out for a run. Straying from his
regular route, he ventures into a strange part of the city where he makes a
gruesome discovery that changes everything.
The story is infused with the kind of
aggressive wit, acute observation, real suspense, imminent danger, selfish need
and poignant humanity that are the basic elements of urban life in contemporary
South Africa.
Sunday
Morning is the second co-production with Jenine
Collocott and her husband, the internationally acclaimed and awarded writer,
Nick Warren. The first was the highly successful one-man show Dirt with James Cairns. The development
of Sunday Morning was funded by
Goethe Institut.
Sunday
Morning has a short run at the Hexagon Theatre on the University of KwaZulu-Natal Pietermaritzburg
campus from November 15 to 17 at 19h30. Tickets R80 (R60 seniors/students). Bookings
