This year’s National Arts Festival Fringe in
Grahamstown sees the return of one of MacBob Productions’ most successful shows
– Marriage for Dummies!
Written, directed and starring Lisa Bobbert
and Aaron McIlroy, the inimitable husband-and-wife duo of South African show
biz, the production made its triumphant debut on last year’s NAF Fringe, before
going on to take theatre-goers around the country by storm.
Marriage for Dummies is a survival guide
for anyone brave enough to take on life’s ultimate challenge. Everyone knows
that marriage is more than a relationship: it’s a wild adventure. Navigating
the ups and downs of married life takes elbow grease, planning and
anti-depressants! Before you throw in the towel get ‘expert’ advice from these
comedic legends – as they share their secrets of ‘marital bliss’ and help you
come to gripes... er grips with your partner’s annoying habits.
Cue Online’s reviewer, appraising the show
during its debut run, wrote: “This dynamic duo never disappoints. If you are in
need of a good laugh and a relaxed evening out, this is the show to watch. A
quirky mixture of comedy, dance, and music with interesting insight in how to
make a marriage last. It will keep you well entertained.”
