JODY ABRAHAMS IN ‘IS JA!’
|
21 March 2006 - 31 March 2006
|
Jody Abrahams’s one-man show ‘Is Ja!’ is back in Cape Town and you can catch it at Obz Café until the 31st at 8pm. Is Ja! is a roller-coaster ride that uses music and song to tell the sometimes sad, often hilarious, yet always truthful account of Abrahams’ life thus far. In his quest to illustrate the triumphs as well as the heartaches he encountered during his career’s rapid ascendancy, Abrahams takes on the personas of other characters to share his intensely personal story.
Written by the talented Johannesburg playwright, Stephen Simm, ‘Is Ja! gives audiences insight into the sometimes bizarre industry called showbiz and allows Abrahams to express his versatility both as an actor and singer.
In this run, Abrahams uses more music and a refined musical score to illustrate his story. This ranges from local musical hits to traditional Cape-Malay Medleys. Swing to Afrikaanse liedjies. Rock to Broadway classics. And pop to hip-hop. Abrahams’ own compositions are also featured in the musical score.

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.

Train Your Man, under the skilful direction of Luke Ellenbogen, has Regimental Sergeant-Major Hettie Smit [formerly Potgieter] [Kirchmann] instructing us hilariously how to get your man to do what he should, when he should and how he should and to lose all those bad habits his mother let him get away with. Male behaviour modification is the name of the game but can love conquer all?
