(David Muller)
Seabrooke's Theatre
will host Love Sex Fleas God (Confessions
of a Stay-at-Home Dad), starring the popular Cape Town-based actor David
Muller, which starts its two-week premiere run in Durban on September 14. This
follows the production’s world premiere season in Cape Town from the end of
August.
Directed by Celia
Musikanth, Love Sex Fleas God is more
than just the confessions of a stay-at-home father. David Muller (playing
Bruce) in his and Musikanth's adaptation of Bruce Clark's book of the same title,
traces Bruce's life from childhood to fatherhood. It's a journey from the
stranglehold of a cult upbringing, to freedom and self-discovery which is
frequently punctuated with comic and witty moments.
In this engaging
one-man show, Muller morphs from one role to the next, as the audience
witnesses a transcendence from a down-and-out abused teenager to a loving
father of two children. As the story unfolds, the versatile Cape Town actor
also essays the protagonist’s grandmother and mother, as Bruce’s insightful
supportive wife allows him to be far more than just a stay-at-home dad. The
metamorphosis from an insecure and angry young man to proud father is
inspirational and makes for absorbing theatre.
Love Sex Fleas God (Confessions of a
Stay-at-Home Father) runs
from September 14 to 24 at 19h00 at Seabrooke’s Theatre on the Durban High
School campus in Musgrave on Tickets R100 (R70 students and pensioners). Bulk
