The Durban tradition of adult panto continues to flourish.
2014 sees Suncoast host the event for the fourth time and nobody is going to be
disappointed with the brand new twist in the tale of a well-loved story.
“The time has come for a return to double entendre and
innuendo (the Italian for suppository) , to the way the adult panto was in
times gone by,” says the adult panto team.
It is an accepted fact that Cinderella is the world’s most
favourite pantomime. There have been several incarnations of the adult version,
Sinderella. But don’t panic …..there
is a new version, filled with clever quips to keep you on the edge of your seat
…as well as just a few below the belt jokes.
Harking back to the original format of clever, rather than
in your face, your favourite festive season entertainers have come up with a
new plot.
Gone is Cinderella – and Sinderella – as well as Prince Charming
and the Fairy Godmother. Enter Sinder-Fella
…..
The team is back with some new additions: Anthony Stonier
(whose legs are a World Heritage site) and Clinton Small (last year’s surfer
dude) play the Ugly Sisters; Thomie Holtzhausen (what role has he not played in
adult panto?) is the Fairy Godfather; and the gorgeous Katy Moore (last year’s
Juliet) is Pandora Hugetit, the daughter of a well-known Ballito sugar baron.
Joining them for the first time are Rowin Munsamy as
Pandora’s loyal supporter, Button, and Mpilo “Straw” Nzimande as Sinder-Fella.
Sinder-Fella opens
at Suncoast on November 11 and runs until December 30. Seating is at tables of
8. Bring a picnic or ask about meal specials / corporate block bookings/ office
parties …or just good ol’ festive season fun! Booking is at Computicket. Moe information
