(Frank
Graham)
Come and spend a nostalgic afternoon with
Frank Graham, one of South Africa's most versatile character actors and
comedians, who was in many of the radio shows. (The radio station opened on May
1, 69 years ago)
His show, The Golden Days Of Springbok Radio has one performance at
Rhumbelow Theatre at Tina’s Hotel in Kloof on April 14 at 14h00.
“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?” asks Graham.
“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 right here in Durban, many of them in front of “live”
audiences.”
Come and spend a nostalgic afternoon as Graham
re-invokes those memories with his hugely popular brand of humour.
