Catch Rose from April 23 to May 16 at the Market Theatre
The Market Theatre presents hard-hitting drama Rose by celebrated author Martin Sherman and directed by award-winning Malcolm Purkey, starring actress Camilla Waldman.
Rose was first performed in the Cottesloe auditorium at the Royal National Theatre in 1999.
This year it will make its South African premiere at the Market Theatre from April 23 to May 16.
Rose is a survivor. Her remarkable life began in 1920 in a tiny Russian village, then it took her to Warsaw’s ghettoes and a ship called The Exodus, and finally to the boardwalks of Atlantic City, the Arizona canyons and salsa-flavoured nights in Miami Beach.
The play is a sharply drawn portrait of a feisty Jewish woman and a moving reminder of some of the events that shaped the 20th century.
The play is a personal confession of an extraordinary woman and her memory of all the brilliant and tragic elements of a life lived to the full. Three husbands and a hippy lover later and experiments with memory and magic, this is the story of a survivor.
