Natural Theatre Company A Night at the Bijou

1950s’ B movie Bride of the Monster gets the Natural treatment in this fabulous show where improvisation and flights of fancy collide with film and folklore.

A trip down memory lane or a multimedia extravaganza? Either way expect a fantastically funny evening!

Two Gents Productions Two Gentlemen of Verona

From Verona to Milan, via Harare and Bulawayo, Valentine and Proteus, vie for the love of the same woman. When Valentine is banished, their friendship is threatened and only through disguise, deception and intrigue are they reconciled.

Using little to no props, a few items of clothing and a set that consists of no more than a trunk, the two actors bring a broad, loud and triumphantly energetic ‘township’ style to Shakespeare’s verse.

A soulful and engaging theatrical experience not to be missed!
