Representing the second programme of this
year’s Playhouse Company’s Community Arts Festival,
Sugar Daddies looks head-on at
the social issue widely prevalent today of older, often married, men with
financial means having very young girlfriends. These girls are often seeking a
way to achieve a better lifestyle without considering the consequences and
implications of their actions.
The irresponsible behaviour of these older
men (“sugar daddies”) brings ruin to the lives of their own families and those
of the young women they engage with. This work is directed by Edmund Mhlongo
with a cast that includes Ngcebo Cele, Heather Gielink, Annalisa Gxabu, Vumani
Khumalo, Nompilo Maphumulu, Phumlani Ngubane, Sandile Nxumalo and Snelisiwe
Radebe.
Sugar
Daddies can be seen in The Playhouse Loft Theatre
from April 17 to 20. Performances are at 11h00, 14h00 and 18h00. Admission is
free. The production will also tour to schools in KZN.
