Double bill at Artscape

Artscape Theatre is set to present the double bill of Secret Ballot and Poet.O.Type from Thursday September 8 until Wednesday September 14.

Directed by J Bobs Tshabalala, the productions form part of this year’s Heritage Festival. Secret Ballot is set after the 2014 elections and follows the exploits of five members of “The Brotherhood”. It is at the rallies after the elections that we meet the main characters in this exploration of political influence. Poet.O.Type probes the landscape which exists in the underbelly of South Africa’s art-house circles. “The Guru” is the founder, owner and head chef of a modest catering company. He has only one employee, “The Grasshopper”. The business is on the verge of going under, however, the Guru refuses to take on new contracts unless they fall in line with his socio-political stance, and his passion for fine cuisine. Tickets range from R50 to R80. Book at Computicket or call Artscape Dial-a-Seat at 021 421 7695.
