Have you told your
child a story today? If not perhaps you should come and listen to Oom Schalk
Lourens as he tells a few tales, short and tall, of his experiences in Groot
Marico.
Celebrating the genius of Herman Charles
Bosman, Cape Town actor David Muller appears in his acclaimed his one-hander
fresh from the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown. Five of Bosman’s most
celebrated and superbly entertaining tales feature in this delicious evening’s
entertainment: the whimsical Veld Maiden; the touching In the Withaak’s Shade; the
hilarious A Bekkersdal Marathon; The Gramophone, a macabre tale
centring on a hot-headed husband, and Willem Prinsloo’s Peach Brandy…
Directed by Celia Musikanth,
the production also enjoyed media acclaim when it was staged at the Kalk Bay
Theatre in March this year… The Cape Times hailed the show as “a colourful
celebration of the act of storytelling best enjoyed with a healthy shot of
peach mampoer.” In a similar vein, The Argus commented that in assuming
the mantle of Oom Schalk, “Muller succeeds in creating a fully rounded persona
whose narrative skill leaves one craving more of this entertainment, which is
as addictive as Willem Prinsloo’s peach brandy.”

School (DHS) from July 15 to 26 from Tuesdays to Saturdays at 19h00. Tickets R80
pp with the usual discounts for block bookings, pensioners & students. To
