Pitch-perfect musical comedy at the Rhumbelow
Don't miss the mother of all parenting comedies opening on Friday 4 April.
DEAR Breeder is a “kid’s show” about adults but (certainly not for kids) at the Rhumbelow Theatre this weekend from 4 to 6 April.
Created and performed by Karen Logan and Kasia Vosloo with direction from Iain Ewok Robinson, Dear Breeder was first performed at the this year’s PANSA Musho! Theatre Festival where it won two awards.
A quirky piece of musical comedy that uses original folk-parody songs, dramatic monologues and even a little spoken word to produce an authentic piece of unique theatre. Both satirical and poignant, hilarious and thought-provoking, Dear Breeder showcases the talents of two performers with first-hand experience of being ‘breeders’ themselves.
Entertaining and provocative for anyone who has witnessed or experienced the joyful and not so joyful moments of raising a small child.
The show follows three uniquely insane instantly recognisable mothers (all played by Karen Logan), drawn together by the Peter Rabbit pre-primary school’s end of year Nativity play. Through the musical lens of the recently “preggers” drama teacher, Ms Du Bois, (played by Kasia Vosloo) the audience is taken on a strangely familiar journey as the mother’s rant, rampage, and reconcile their way to producing an original Nativity play.
Beset with dramas (Angel Gabriel peeing on baby Jesus, two Wise Men and a four-year-old feminist) the journey towards the Christmas show mirrors the roller-coaster ride that is being a parent, causing Ms Du Bois to wonder what exactly this whole breeding thing is all about.
Tickets cost 120 and R100 for pensioners.
