(Frank Graham)
Frank Graham will present his show, The Golden Days Of Springbok Radio in Umkomaas at the Aliwal
Theatre on January 29.
“Do you remember a time when the only home entertainment we had
was our precious radio? Do you remember our universally popular Springbok Radio
with its plethora of music shows and quiz shows? And, particularly, do you
recall the vast numbers of plays, serials, and series? Do you remember, above
all, the comedies that could help to lift your spirits at the end of a hard
day?” he says.
“Of course you do - and with affection, I would suggest.
Those were the days of Inspector Carr, Henry Simon of the Missing Persons
Bureau, of Doctor Paul and Mary Livingston, MD. They were the days of No 1 and
No 2, Sir Gregory Pitkin, Mildred Murfin and Humbert and Lolita Snetherswaite;
the days of Able Seaman Johnson, Percy Snodgrass and Kenneth Wibley.”
From 1968 on, the vast majority of comedies was recorded in
Durban, many of them in front of “live” audiences.
Come and spend a nostalgic evening at the Rhumbelow with
Frank Graham, one of South Africa’s most versatile character actors and
comedians as he re-invokes those memories with his hugely popular brand of
humour.

Theatre, Umkomaas, there will be one performance of The Golden Days Of Springbok Radio at 14h00 on January 29. The venue
opens 90 minutes before show for lunch – BYO and food picnic baskets). Tickets R130.
