“My Fellow South Africans”
This production is a multi-sketch satirical commentary which will have the audience thinking deeply, all while laughing until you cry this weekend.
“My Fellow South Africans” emulates the award-winning “Pay Back the Curry” theatre format, which involves one-hander Kim Blanché Adonis taking centre stage as the show’s only performer.
As the star of the one-person show, she is set to utilise comedy, singing, poetry, physical theatre and character sketches to provide sharp and critical commentary on contemporary South African themes.
The South African actress and comedian is no stranger to the local theatre comedy scene as she previously starred in the production, “He Had It Coming,” in which she received widespread applause.
She also won the Woordtrofee for Best Achievement in a Solo show at the 2023 Toyota US Woordfees.
Developed with support by Artscape and the University of Johannesburg, “My Fellow South Africans” which was written by Mike van Graan, has already been performed several times in formal theatre spaces.
Adonis has also taken the show to schools, corporate boardrooms, retirement villages and even in people’s homes.
“The play is a satirical piece that takes on many contemporary South African themes – corruption, transformation, fees must fall, inequality and privilege, racism and xenophobia – but it does so in a way that makes audiences laugh while getting them to think afresh about these themes,”
“The main intention of the piece is to encourage audiences to think about our country and to be engaged as active citizens in helping to change it for the better,” van Graan said.
“My Fellow South Africans” consists of strong language and is not suitable to those under the age of 16.
Where: AKTV Griesselsaal in Oudtshoorn.
When: Friday, March 29, to Sunday, March 31.
Cost: Tickets cost R135 - R165 and are available through Webtickets.
