The world has mobilised to help those left
destitute by the destructive forces of mother nature after the recent tsunami,
which caused havoc in South-East Asia.
Durbanites, touched by the images which brought
home the reality of the devastation, have contributed thousands of rands to
funds that will see the lives of millions greatly improved.
The theatre has been the only good and constant
source of entertainment lately, so when the opportunity came to attend a show
that would feature men dressed as women, I jumped at it.
When I first entered the venue, the intimate
Rhumbelow Theatre in Umbilo, my hopes for the show were high, and it did not
disappoint. I have not had the pleasure of seeing a live drag show before, but
television and the movies have provided me with a little insight into the time
and effort that goes into the make-up, the clothes and, of course, the
performances.
Dressed in some of the most innovative and
not-so-stylish outfits, The Family Players and Belinda Dolphin put on a show to
remember, sending members of the audience back in time with songs from
yesteryear.
The show was hilariously funny and had me singing
songs I had thought had been buried deeply in a time capsule.
It was pure good fun, with the audience joining in
on a few songs, which made the evening laid back and relaxed.
The drinks were flowing and the company I had kept
me in stitches.
A good show for a great cause. It was wonderful to
see Durbanites dig into their pockets to help those less fortunate.
