(Ben
Voss & John van de Ruit)
Fresh from a national sold-out tour, the
hilarious hit comedy show Mamba Republic
will have two performances at the Hexagon Theatre on November 10 and 11.
Mamba
Republic is a rapid-paced satirical sketch-comedy.
Reuniting the talents of Ben Voss (Beauty Ramapelepele) and John van de Ruit (Spud), Mamba Republic takes a savagely funny look at all that is wrong and
very wrong in the Rainbow Nation. With their unique blend of sharp wit,
hopeless optimism and clever characterisation, the duo sink their fangs into
the fiascos, farces and foibles of South African life.
Whether it is their unique take on fees
must fall, state capture, online dating, the economy, sport, technology,
racism, an alternative national anthem, or even the most unusual football match
in living memory, Mamba Republic will
have you rolling in the aisles at the utter absurdity of life at the foot of
Africa.
Adding to the duo on stage, the team is
spear-headed by Durban theatre leader and visionary, Mervyn McMurtry as director
and designer. Mamba Republic follows
in the footsteps of Green Mamba
(2002) and Black Mamba (2005) which
together racked up over 800 performances in five years, winning numerous awards
and developing a cult following all over Southern Africa.
Mamba
Republic has performances on November 10 and 11 at
18h00 at the Hexagon Theatre on the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s
Pietermaritzburg campus. Tickets R120 available at Webtickets.co.za
