Starke)
Rhumbelow Theatre at the Alan Wilson
Shellhole in Pietermaritzburg will present Leonard
Cohen – A Tribute performed by Dave Starke
Cohen
– A Tribute is an exploration of the life and works
of the late Leonard Cohen. It features his music and poetry interspersed with
anecdotes from his life and other literary writings. You can expect early hits
such as Suzanne and So long Maryanne, the haunting Famous Blue Raincoat and Who By Fire?, lighter works such as Tower of Song as well as pieces from his
final album You Want It Darker? That
was released just before his death. The text for the show was researched and
written by Perran Hahndiek.
The show had its debut at The Rosebank
Theatre in Cape Town where it was sold out for the duration of its run.
Hahndiek is a writer and poet based in Cape
Town. He studied political science at UCT and is a procedural advisor to the
National Assembly in the South African Parliament.
Starke is a singer and guitarist based in KZN.
He has performed in a number of festivals and shows throughout South Africa and
abroad over the last 20 years. In 2016, he appeared on the first season of The Voice – South Africa. In addition to

running a non-profit performing arts school for underprivileged youth in
