(Anthony
Stonier)
For two decades the Durban Adult Panto has
been a feature of the Festive Season – a reason to let your hair down and party
the night away watching a show which took a traditional fairy tale and turned
it upside down and inside out to reveal a very naughty underbelly. Now in its
21st year the Adult Panto gets an extra bite!
This festive season, the Adult Panto will
again be staged in the quaint supper theatre venue On Stage @ Altitude situated
in Silver Ave, Stamford Hill. It guarantees a fabulous evening of light-hearted
entertainment before partying the night away in the venue which transforms
before your very eyes into a dance floor. The coloured strobes from the venue
extend over Silver Avenue to reflect on the walls of the buildings opposite;
the bustle of the normally active road is serene and your vehicles are quite
safe under the watchful eyes of a car-guard or two, so that you can truly
forget your cares and chuckle away at the on-stage antics.
Over the past 20 years the Panto has been
based on a traditional fairy tale but, this year, the script has been captured
by the fairy tale of the Rainbow Nation. Be prepared for an experience with an
edgy and a tantalising bite! Simply entitled Dracula, the Adult Panto team has created a potjie filled with
delicious South African flavours spiced with sarcasm, innuendo and naughty
jokes.
Anthony Stonier, in his 20th Adult Panto,
is ready to suck you dry with laughter as Count(ess) Dracula! We guarantee
every fe(male) will swoon over his legs and be willing, not only to be courted
by his melodic voice, but die for his bite! Thomie Holtzhausen – Adult Panto
director and scriptwriter, celebrates a decade with the team, also appears on
stage in a variety of roles. Joining them is the talented Jaziel Vaughánn who
returns to the panto stage with all the aplomb of a carnival minstrel;
Kerry-Lee McKibben with her sultry voice; and the comedic antics of Mpilo
Nzimande, guaranteeing an escape from life.
There is no restriction on the food being
brought into the venue, but all liquid refreshments must be purchased from Club
Altitude's bar.
Dracula runs from November 14 to December 30 with shows from Tuesdays to Saturdays
at 19h30. Cost is R140pp. Tables seat 8 and there are only 10 tables in the
venue. Bookings on https://www.quicket.co.za/events/33883-dracula-the-adult-panto-panto/#/schedules
