Two
of Durban’s best-known and well loved theatre personalities, Anthony Stonier
and Lisa Bobbert, appear together for the first time in 13 years. Not since GET
SCREWED have these two performers, bristling with sharp wit and comedy and over
flowing with musical ability, been seen on the same stage together.
BRUTAL TUNES has been specifically
designed to highlight their talents and excellent working rapport. It is a
music revue filled with comedy, clever (and brutal …!!) lyrics and outrageous
fun. It is mad cap and macabre with a mixture of mystery, murder, mayhem and
mirth mixed together for massive ‘musement!!
So much of life is brutal: love, lost
love, marriage, the games society plays, parties, liaisons, families, the
horrors adults put their children through - after all which child wants a
mother whose face is lifted from its proper place … no aspect of life is left
unscathed in this brutal take on life.
BRUTAL TUNES, directed by Caroline Smart
- she has been pretty brutal in rehearsals too - has music by Sondheim, Noel
Coward, Tom Lehrer - all masters of the brutal, witty lyric.
Bobbert and Stonier will be accompanied
on piano by the acclaimed Andrew Warburton, accomplished classical musician and
more than capable of up staging them - after all, he has far more glamorous
costumes - providing wonderful music, including an entire brutal concerto,
despite the concerted attempts of the performers to derail him and, despite
himself, adding enormously to the brutal atmosphere!
