Storyteller on stage at Rhumbelow

RHUMBELOW Theatre Tina’s Hotel, 14 Beryldene Road, Kloof, presents Marico Moon, compiled and performed by Barbie Meyer and directed by Marke Meyer from Friday, 9 and Sunday, 11 August.

Marico Moon is Meyer’s eagerly awaited sixth show on one of SA’s finest literary masters, Herman Charles Bosman.
Herman Charles Bosman was a South African writer and journalist who became famous for capturing the rhythms of backveld Afrikaans speech even though he wrote in English. He is widely regarded as the greatest short story writer to come out of this country. His books are some of the finest in the field of South-African literature.

Whether you have read Bosman’s works or not, Meyer’s compilation of his stories in Marico Moon will no doubt delight and surprise you. It is challenging, delightfully written and eminently entertaining.

Meyer has succeeded in mastering the distinctive flat accent of the Groot Marico. Her use of pauses and impeccable comedic timing are what sets her apart as a top storyteller. Her unpretentious style, tangible passion for these stories and love for this genre of storytelling simply oozes out of her every pore when she is on the stage, pulling the audience right into the veld with her.

The show starts at 8pm on Friday and Saturday at 2pm on Sunday.
The venue opens 60 minutes before the show for drinks. For restaurant reservations at Tina’s, contact 031 764 7843.
