Pieter Toerien is proud to present to thee, they Abrahamse and Meyer production of thou Shakespeare’s R&J.

Joe Calarco’s award-winning Shakespeare’s R&J re-imagines Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers as two adolescent schoolboys in a Catholic boarding school during the 1950s. Their love for one another becomes the ultimate forbidden love in an austere, repressive all male milieu.

Four pupils discover an illicit copy of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and start acting it out in their dormitory late one night. Perceptions and understandings are turned upside down as the fun of play acting turns serious and the words and meanings begin to hit home and universal truths emerge.

Shakespeare’s R&J was first presented by Expanded Arts Inc. New York in September 1997. It then opened at the John Houseman Theatre, New York in March 1998 where it ran for over a year (385 performances) making it the longest running version of Romeo and Juliet in New York.

Calarco subsequently staged the play in Chicago, Washington D.C, Japan and on London’s West End. Other productions have been staged with great success across the United Stated, Europe and Australia. The South African première was presented by Abrahamse & Meyer Productions at the 2011 National Arts Festival, Grahamstown.

The amazing cast consist of Matthew Baldwin, Dean Balie, Jeremy Richard and Tailyn Ramsamy, with Abrahamse as directing.  The Catholic Consultancy was under consultation of brother Michael Burke.

From the producers of the award-winning Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Rock of Ages, VR Theatrical is proud to present their latest local offering, The Dead Tinder Society. 

https://www.facebook.com/VRTheatrical/videos/380943879256657/

In a story of love, loss and sex on the N1, The Dead Tinder Society grapples with finding the poetry in the pandemonium of seeking your significant other.

Currently running at the Pieter Toerien Studio Theatre at Montecasino, this original script is set to catapult audiences into the hilarious, but oh-so-familiar head-over-heels world of online dating from the 26^th of July to the 25^th of August.

Naledi nominated and renowned theatre maker Ashleigh Harvey wields the pen in this bittersweet and moving comedy about the ‘ups and downs’ of dating in a world ruled by screens and cheesy pick-up-lines.

Meet Jody Green, a 36-year-old recently divorced mother of two.  With the help of her best friend Ray, she signs up to Tinder (the infamous mobile dating app) in an attempt to put her shattered love life back together again.

Daring to go on dates with a wide range of colourful characters, to put it politely, Jody bites off more than she can chew as she hurtles down the path of self-discovery.

The production will be directed by Lesedi Job who is no stranger to crafting original South African plays.   The production will star Sharon Spiegel-Wagner and Mpho Osei-Tutu in the leading roles.

Harvey’s witty tale of Tinder and its tendencies is honest, unforgiving and reflective of a society hell-bent on appearance and sexual desire.  And underneath all the hilarity beats a beautiful and fragile heart – a heart like yours and mine.

A must-see for all who have ever dated.

The Dead Tinder Society

Tickets from R130 can be booked at Computicket

Age restriction: PG (Contains colourful language and adult themes)

Dates:  26 July – 25 August
