MacBob Productions presents one of its greatest hit shows, Defending The Planet, starring Aaron
McIlroy and Lisa Bobbert for a short run at the Hexagon Theatre in
Pietermaritzburg. The show is written by Susan Monteregge and directed by
Darren King.
Says multi-award-winning actress Lisa Bobbert: “Have you
ever felt that you don't belong or that there's more to life than this? Are
your dreams so weird that you are afraid people will judge you? You may not
realize it but you have been manipulated by powers beyond your control. Yes,
you have had an alien abduction experience! The time has come to step out of
the dark and defend our planet. If you miss this show it could be the end of
the world as we know it!”
So stand by for the super-charged comedy duo Aaron McIlroy
and Lisa Bobbert, the team that brought you The
Seven Deadly Sins (and a host of other hot-property shows) in a return of
their smash hit take on alien abductions. The multi-award-winning Defending the Planet returns, now
extensively updated and radically revised, but just as whacky as ever. If you
missed them in this runaway hit previously (or even if you didn’t), be sure to
catch the zaniest husband-and-wife couple in town in “one of the funniest
productions seen in ages” (The Daily News).
The story focuses on a self-help group of victims of alien
abductions, formed to examine these and other close encounters of various
kinds. Typical of the McIlroys’ unique comedic style, Defending The Planet discusses the trauma of victims who have been
“probed” by aliens. With off-the-wall characters and an eclectic range of
foot-stomping music, suggestions are made as to how one can deal with an
“invasion” and how to avoid falling victim to these outlandish creatures. The
show is a must-see for anyone who has ever wondered about extra-terrestrial
activity and above all, assures audiences of an entertaining evening of music
and laughter.
Defending The Planet
runs from March 31 to April 2 with performance at 19h30 at the Hexagon Theatre
on the University of KwaZulu-Natal Pietermaritzburg campus. Tickets R130 (R100
for seniors & students) booked through Computicket. For more information
