AFTER DARK IN THE GROOT MARICO
Welcome, weary traveller. Rest your feet from your long journey, and sit down on the stoep with Oom Schalk Lourens. Bask in the light of the full moon and let him tell you stories of love, music, and a little bit of magic. But beware … all good stories have a dark side…
Andrew Laubscher and Tara Notcutt bring you these tales of old and are joined by Fleur du Cap winner for Most Promising Student, Sive Gubangxa. Using physical theatre, and nothing but their bodies, Andrew and Sive weave a world of wonder and magic, as they take you on a comic book style whirlwind journey into the Marico.
Many are delighted by the style and find a renewed joy for the stories .
“physical theatre at its best…. a world of imagination, perfect timing and offbeat humour ….a brilliant piece of entertainment” (The Cape Times)
“one of the funniest things I’ve seen on stage in a long time” (The Witness).
Some purists have grumbled! This only fuelled the fire to continue to bring a new appreciation of Bosman and his beautiful stories to a wider, younger audience.
