MARK SAMPSON’S "MISSING LINKS"
|
11 March 2006 - 18 March 2006
|
Stand-up comedian Mark Sampson’s revolutionary comedy "Missing Links" has been a massive success nationwide – it sold out in Cape Town, was a huge hit at the 2005 Grahamstown Festival, and played to packed houses and great critical acclaim at the Liberty Life Theatre on the Square in Sandton throughout February.
Inspired by a visit to the Sterkfontein caves, Sampson contemplates a South African future for his kids by looking back at the very origins of the human family - all the way from the great apes to George Bush. He takes us on a rollercoaster taxi-ride through 3 billion years of evolution: from microbes to man, via Mrs Ples, homo erectus and a lot of monkeying about. A laugh-a-minute hour with one man and a microphone that will make you see our ancestors – and our present - in a whole new light…

Artscape Arena.

Cat Stevens shot to fame in 1965 with his songs, Matthew and Son and I Love My Dog. This tribute highlights Cat Stevens’ haunting melodies and soulful lyrics and is packed with his greatest hits, while also focusing on Cat Stevens, the man, his life journey from birth to current status as a converted Muslim and Nobel Peace prizewinner.

7TH SON GIG
|
15 March 2006 - 22 March 2006
|
For a skanking combination of beer and reggae beats, you must not miss Cape Town roots rockers, 7th Son, at Paulaner Bräuhaus. They’re live and kicking every Wednesday in March between 8 and 10pm and admission is free.
This band has been described as “the pride and joy of Cape Town’s reggae/ska/dub music scene” but whether you’re a reggae fundi or a dub virgin – the rhythm is gonna getcha. While the band plays on, Paulaner is offering a large glass of its own, brewed-on-the-premises, unmissable beer for the price of a small one.
Paulaner is a genuine German microbrewery (with a genuine German master-brewer) at the heart of the Waterfront’s cosmopolitan vibe. Believed to be the only microbrewery in the world below sea level, it’s certainly the only one in a working harbour. It makes Bavarian Weissbier, smooth Paulaner Lager and Münch’ner Dunkel, the dark beer for which Munich is renowned.
There’s a water-side beer garden to sit in – until the band gets you on your feet – and plenty of excellent Bavarian fare to give you the energy to keep dancing. So …get on down.

POPPIE AT UCT ARENA THEATRE
|
17 March 2006 - 25 March 2006
|
In 1978, Tafelberg Publishers published Die Swerfjare van Poppie Nongena written by Elsa Joubert. It was later adapted for the stage by Sandra Kotze. Through Poppie's eyes we journey into her and her family's nightmare experiences during the horrific political turmoil of South Africa in the 1970's.Sandra Temmingh, director of this UCT Drama Department Production says; "For our students this piece of theatre is very close to their hearts. All of them have a 'Poppie' in their families - a woman who, for the survival and education of her children, would struggle and fight with all her worth. The talented young actors through their research into the play, found a new sense of respect for their parents and grandparents as they discovered the horrors of the implications of the terrible pass laws in place in the 70's".

ROLLING HEADS

|
Award-winning writer, Andrew Whaley's greatly anticipated play “Rolling Heads” will run at the Old Zoo on the Rhodes Memorial Estate from the 10th of March until the 1st of April. Set against the background of violent evictions and slum clearance during the winter of 2005, this dramatic story derives its power and humour from the chaos that forces two desperadoes to escape underground to freedom in South Africa. Along the way they have to deal with home and the heart, pitfalls, presidents and municipal accidents. It is a dramatic and hilarious journey that guarantees a meeting with destiny! Heartfelt and funny, Rolling Heads brings together the superb comic gifts of Adam Neill as director, with actors Dylan Wilson-Max and Tembinkosi Njokweni, and Nicholas Ellenbogen as production designer. (Wednesday to Saturday).
Pensioners & students (with valid cards) R40 Previews 8th and 9th March - two for the price of one (show only)
