Eureka Productions is to present Greig
Coetzee's Rhymes with Orange, which
offers an engaging, vibrant and hilarious show that makes poetry both
accessible and fun!!
"An irreverent, poignant, funny and
engaging show that will help teachers show their students why poetry is
relevant… that if your life feels like it doesn't rhyme any more, maybe all
that's missing from your soul is a bit of poetry."
Award-winning international writer, actor
and director Greig Coetzee, who is also a former teacher, has taken some of the
prescribed Matric and high school poems, mixed them in with some of his
favourites, and thrown them into a teenage love story.
Romy is studying for her poetry test when
her boyfriend Julius arrives with the latest rap song he's written. He tries to
convince her that boring old poetry is like maths - you'll never need it in the
real world. He thinks they should both drop out of school and be the next
YouTube music sensation. Like Die
Antwoord, they can make money out of their love…
However, Romy's got bad news for Julius.
She's too busy planning her brilliant academic future to think about romance. Besides,
she's given up on love since her parents got divorced. She thinks they should
just be friends.
Now she just has to find a way to tell him…
and when she does, he has to find a way to win her back.
Featuring two of Durban's finest
professional actors Daisy Spencer and Marc Kay under the direction of Julia
Clarence, Rhymes With Orange will
tour schools for limited time only!
This production offers schools a wonderful
opportunity to change the way pupils view poetry. It is suitable for Grade 8 to
Matric.
The production will be available from April
15 to May 3 and again from September 16 to 20. Bookings and enquiries to Julia
on 083 791 0809 or email: juliakateclarence@gmail.com
