PRESENTS

 

" DURBAN= BOSMAN FESTIVAL”<= /b>

23 Jul - 25 Jul & 29 Jul – 01 Aug 20= 10

Directed by Bets Basson.<= /span> Featuring Barbie Meyer & Lorna Burd.

        =        

R= 20;Everyone loves a good story and no-one wrote them quite as beautifully, insightfully= and downright hilariously as Herman Ch= arles Bosman”, says blonde Barbie Meyer with a passionate twinkle in her eye.=

After seeing Patrick Mynhardt= transformed into Oom Schal= k on the stage and hearing him tell Bosman’s intrinsically South African short stories, Barbie Meyer never quite saw the world in the same way again. “Quite simply I was hooked from an early age” she laughs.

One senses that the Bosman stories that Meyer performs will be filled with hilarity, beauty, passion, irony and wit - words which Meyer constantly uses to describe his work.

 

The good news is that Meyer has teamed up with Rol= and Stansell of Rhumbelow Theatre in planning what will be Durban= ’s own Bos= man Festival. The festival will be an annual event presented this year on t= he weekends of the 23rd to 25th July and 30th= to 1st August.   

In her previous shows the vel= d maiden herself, Barbie Meyer, has been able to bring to life and give a balanced and highly palatable assortment of BosmanR= 17;s short stories, essays and poetry. Tasty titbits about = Bosman’s Bohemian and rather controversial life have been cleverly woven into each p= lay.

For Bosman fans and the uninitiated alike, the Durban Bosman Festival c= omes highly recommended.

 

Three different Bosman= shows will be presented. All works have been directed by the evergreen and highly talented Bets Basson– so expect near perf= ect comic timing and seamless performances.

The shows which have been selected for the Durban Festival include the following:

 

Bosman’s Veld Maiden: <= /b>This is Meyer’s latest offering. Alluring Marico ghosts, countless bottles= of mampoer and elusive romances – both funny and enthralling - this is undoubtedly South African storytelling at its best!

Directed by Bets Basson. Featuring Barbie Meyer.

 

Bosman’s Women: = Three wives and a bohemian lifestyle – Herman Charles = Bosman’s private life was decidedly thorny. Some called him a genius others called h= im a criminal but one certainty was that it was intoxicating being a Bosman woman – in or out of his stories! <= /o:p>

Directed by Bets Basson. Featuring Barbie Meyer & Lorna Burd.

 

= Leopards & Liars: Brace yourselves for some hilarious storytelli= ng which will make you giggle when you really know you shouldn’t. These = two sassy women will delight and surprise you with the extraordinary life and w= orks of one of South Afri= ca’s literary masters: Herman Charles Bosman.

Directed by Bets Basson. Featuring Barbie Meyer & Lorna Burd.
