Hot new comedy Mystic Twisters debuts in Durbs
Local ladies Sivani Chinappan, Maeshni Naicker and Shona Johnson star in Clinton Marius's new satirical comedy 'Mystic Twisters' at iZulu Theatre this month.
THREE of Durban’s funniest female performers unite in Mystic Twisters, a riotous new comedy by multi-award winning writer and director Clinton Marius when it premieres at Sibaya Casino’s iZulu Theatre from 13 to 15 May.
Sivani Chinappan, Shona Johnson and Maeshni Naicker, are set to take the stage by storm as the stars of Mystic Twisters. Trying to make ends meet, the three sisters- Kantha, Kogie and Sushi – fumble and stumble their way through the ups and downs of the mysterious art of clairvoyance while digging themselves in deeper and deeper with each prediction.
Laced with song and dance, Mystic Twisters, the sizzling satire from Copy Dog Productions, explores the funnier side of fortune-telling – and with the powerhouse combo of Naicker, Chinappan and Johnson, promises to have audiences rolling in the aisles.
“My choice companions on a desert island would be these three amazing actresses,” said Marius, “I’ve long been enthralled with the comic talents of Maeshni Naicker, who played the bossy kleptomaniac, Aunty, in my radio serial, Lollipop Lane, and won the hearts of thousands of fans for her starring roles in movies such as Broken Promises and The Curse of Highway Sheila.”
“Sivani Chinappan (Durban Theatre Award winner for her riveting performance in A Cookie in the Kitchen) took on the lead role of Mrs Singh-Song when my comedy Lollipop Lane appeared on stage. Add to this mix the skills of the hysterically quirky Shona Johnson, who bagged several awards, including a Standard Bank Ovation Award, for her performance in my one-hander, B!*ch Stole My Doek, and you have all
the right ingredients for a magical production,” Marius added.
Mystic Twisters premieres at Sibaya’s iZulu Theatre with performances on 13 and 14 May at 7.30pm and a 3pm Sunday matinee on 15 May. Tickets cost R120 and are available through Computicket on 0861 915 8000, or online at www.computicket.com.
