The critically acclaimed show, written by Perran Hahndiek and performed by Dave Starke, will have a two-night run on the 29th and 30th of January.

Created in early 2017, the show has been toured across South Africa including two successive years at The National Arts Festival Fringe during which Dave appeared in an unprecedented 27 performances over 8 days.

The show is an exploration of the life and works of the late musician and poet and features his music and poetry interspersed with anecdotes from his life and other literary writings. You can expect early hits such as Suzanne and So long Maryanne, the haunting Famous Blue Raincoat and Who By Fire?, lighter works such as Tower of Song as well as pieces from his final album You Want It Darker? that was released just before his death.

About the creators:

He is a two-time semi-finalist in the UK Songwriting Contest and, in March of 2020, released his second studio album “Shifting Boundaries”.

Perran Hahndiek is a writer and poet based in Cape Town. He studied political science at UCT and is a procedural advisor to the National Assembly in the South African Parliament.

Reviews:

“Singer-guitarist Starke pays excellent tribute to Leonard Cohen, offering not only a well-researched history of the man, his poetry, music and achievements, but also insight into Cohen's thought processes. We also get various anecdotes, much interesting sideline info on the great poet and songwriter, and a lot of unexpected, dry humour. It is an elegant and captivating show, impressively lit by Sarah Claxon. It has the cool and confident Starke doing a great job with hits such a 'So Long Marianne', 'Suzanne', 'Sisters of Mercy', 'Hallelujah' and the moving 'The Treaty', as well as other hits and lesser-known material. Highly Recommended!” Bill Suter

“Dave Starke in ‘Cohen - A Tribute’ was the last scheduled show at the Rosebank Theatre, and one of the most brilliant. Quite simply Starke rocks!” William de Villiers
