(Frank
Graham)
Do you remember the universally popular
Springbok Radio with its plethora of music shows and quiz shows? Take a trip
down memory lane when Rhumbelow Theatre presents There was A Time … with Frank Graham for one performance only on
March 8.
“Do you remember a time when the only home
entertainment we had was our precious radio? Do you remember our universally
popular Springbok Radio with its plethora of music shows and quiz shows? And,
particularly, do you recall the vast numbers of plays, serials, and series?” asks
Frank Graham. “Do you remember, above all, the comedies that could help to lift
your spirits at the end of a hard day?
“Of course you do - and with affection, I
would suggest,” he continues. “Those were the days of Inspector Carr, Henry
Simon of the Missing Persons Bureau, of Doctor Paul and Mary Livingston, MD.
They were the days of No 1 and No 2, Sir Gregory Pitkin, Mildred Murfin and
Humbert and Lolita Snethersthwaite; the days of Able Seaman Johnson, Percy
Snodgrass and Kenneth Wibley.”
From 1968 on, the vast majority of comedies
was recorded right here in Durban, many of them in front of “live” audiences.
Come and spend a nostalgic evening at the Rhumbelow
with Frank Graham, one of South Africa’s most versatile character actors and
comedians as he re-invokes those memories with his hugely popular brand of
humour. You’ll go home with a song in your heart!
