Win tickets to White Christmas!

THE one-man tragi-comedy, White Christmas, runs at Seabrooke’s Theatre in Musgrave from 3 to 6 March.

The show is written and directed by Clinton Marius and stars the gifted young Durban-based actor, Jonathan Cohen, making his role debut in this challenging piece about the currently disadvantaged. Every year the Van Niekerk family go ‘upmarket’ and spend the festive season at the Margate Caravan Park. But this year’s holiday will be different. Way different.

“White Christmas is, ironically, a black comedy about a South African family’s 350-year history in this country, and where they stand today. The play is the most personal I have written to date, in that it turns a satirical spotlight on my own family. Certain elements have been tweaked for dramatic effect, but the bittersweet account is by-and-large a factual one,” said Marius.

Jonathan Cohen made his professional debut on the Durban theatre circuit with KickstArt’s Shrek! The Musical in 2015. He completed his Honour’s degree in Drama and Performance at the University in KwaZulu-Natal in the same year. Before that in 2013, he appeared in Peter Mitchell’s The Great American Songbook at the Hexagon Dive Theatre in Pietermaritzburg, a jukebox musical that solidified Cohen’s love for jazz, as well as singing onstage.
