House of Nuts provides some jolly comedy

WARM-UP with some jolly comedy when veteran theatre practitioner, Dr Satchu Annamalai, brings his latest, witty production, House of Nuts, to Sibaya Casino and Entertainment Kingdom on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 July at 8pm.

Annamalai claims the play is first and foremost about human personalities, that even in the comedy the frailty of human nature is revealed. Five very different people are forced to negotiate around each other with hilarious results. While a strong main plot is bound to keep audiences riveted, clever sub-plots are carefully intertwined to provide the comic relief.

The drama is set in the household of Harry Venketsamy, a fun loving 55-year-old, who has just taken early retirement and is set to live out the rest of his life travelling and making merry. Thrown into the mix is Harry’s sister in law, Selvie, a bitter and envious individual who cannot stand to see Harry carving out the perfect life for himself and her sister. She inevitably has to put a ‘spoke in the wheel’. Blackmail, murder threats, and kidnapping become the order of the day. In terms of social commentary and entertainment value, the show is packaged to appeal to a wide range of audiences.

House of Nuts boasts a star studded cast with the likes of Ruben Naidoo, Maeshni Naicker, Melanie Kisten, Desiree Kisten, and Warrick Frank.

Tickets cost R100 and are available at Computicket 0861 915 8000 or the Sibaya Box Office (031 580 5701).
