(Jayshree Parasuramen)
ABH
(Aryan Benevolent Homes) and The Nelson Mandela Youth Centre in association with
J Zee Entertainment will present Chats_Worth,
a one woman play about stories from the hood!
Inspired
by the book, Chatsworth - The making of a
South African Township written by Ashwin Desai and Goolam Vahed. The play
is written by Jayshree Parasuramen and part proceeds from this show will be
donated to ABH and the Nelson Mandela Youth Centre.
The show
tells stories inspired by actual events and the writings in this thriving Durban
township. It is aimed to inspire many people, educate youth and keep them off
drugs but most especially aimed at not forgetting a rich history.
Parasuramen
hopes to gain the interest of many so that soon, government will build a Museum
in Chatsworth where all Indian history should be recorded.
“The
production is being launched in Chatsworth due to its significance and the aim
is to have a full house at every performance in order to spread our message,”
says Parasuramen. “There is an urgent need to sponsor tickets for scholars and
senior citizens. Many may never afford to see this production.
“I am
currently funding this production myself and it has not been easy,” she adds. “All
the help and support is much appreciated With a good run in Chatsworth, the
play will certainly go on a national tour!”
Chats_Worth will be staged at the 600-seater ABH
Pattendeen Theatre from April 4 to 20. Tickets R60 (R25 senior citizens and
scholars) have been kept reasonable so that the production may be affordable to
the community of Chatsworth. Five shows have been allocated to schools and two for
senior citizens.
Opening
night on April 4 is at 19h00 followed by an after-party. Tickets (R60pp)
available direct from Parasuramen on 083 610 9931.
