(Frank
Graham in many disguises)
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?
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 evening at the
Rhumbelow Theatre in Durban with Frank Graham, one of South Africa’s most
versatile character actors and comedians as he re-invokes those memories with
his hugely popular brand of humour.
You’ll go home with a song in your heart!
Frank Graham will give one performance of
his popular one-man show, The Golden Days
Of Springbok Radio on Wednesday
