Hailed as a “One-woman comedy riot... One of 2014’s top shows” ( Estelle Sinkins, The Witness), Clinton Marius’s smash hit comedy B!*ch Stole My Doek starring Shona Johnson returns by popular demand to Durban’s Catalina Theatre for three performances from January 9 to 11.

When award-winning playwright-director Clinton Marius showcased actress Shona Johnson in his sizzling new comedy B!*ch Stole My Doek last month, the production scored unanimous thumbs ups from critics and public alike.

“Has you laughing from start to finish” wrote Latoya Newman in The Daily News, while The Mercury’s Arts Editor Billy Suter found the show “a crowd pleasing winner… well worth seeing, a triumph for both Johnson and Marius.”

“Great writing, great performance, great theatre!!!” enthused film producer Junaid Ahmed about this Copy Dog production, while audience member Pauline Dalais found the show a “most awesomely humorous portrayal of my coloured peeps!”

A raucous satire with a twist, B!*ch Stole My Doek pokes fun at a war of words between two women over a missing item of laundry. Colourful language and irrational hysteria offer an insider’s view of life in Durban’s southern suburb of Wentworth as the comical battle between neighbours heats up and boils over, with unexpected results.

B!*ch Stole My Doek performances are on January 9 and 10 at 19h30 and on January 11 at 14h30. Tickets R100 booked through at Computicket on 0861 915 8000 or www.computicket.com, at Shoprite Checkers Computicket outlets or at the Catalina Theatre box office 30 minutes before performances.
