(Craig Morris in “Johnny
Boskak is Feeling Funny”)
Winning the top accolade at the recent National Arts
Festival Fringe is no easy feat amongst over 200 shows. But Craig Morris
achieved the almost impossible by winning a Gold Standard Bank Ovation Award
with Greig Coetzee’s Johnny Boskak is
Feeling Funny. Morris will be in Pietermaritzburg for one day only at the
end of July, and local theatre-goers will have the opportunity to see this
remarkable show. Coetzee studied in Pietermaritzburg and taught for many years
at GHS, before becoming a professional writer and actor.
Where does Johnny Boskak fit in the new South Africa? Is he
a white trash dinosaur? Or is he the last cowboy hero in boots and blue jeans?
What we know is that he’s on the road, looking for love, redemption, an AK47
and the quickest way out of Secunda …
Craig Morris stars in Greig Coetzee’s award-winning spin-off
to White Men with Weapons! After the
magical collaboration that birthed Blood
Orange, Morris celebrates the creative genius that is Coetzee’s writing.
Johnny Boskak is
Feeling Funny is written by Greig Coetzee and co-directed by Roslyn
Wood-Morris and Craig Morris. It has one performance at the Hexagon Theatre on
the University of KwaZulu-Natal Pietermaritzburg campus on July 31 at 19h30. Tickets
