And for those who can travel further than Durban this weekend, the Hilton Arts Festival Memorial Hall also plays host to So, you Want to be a Trophy Wife?
Friday, August 11 & Saturday, August 12
So, you want to be a Trophy Wife is a one-woman show, written and performed by Cape Town-based, Sue Deipeveen, which comes to the Hilton Arts Festival on August 11 and 12.
This one-woman production saw one outing as a test run back in 2016. Since then, the piece has been refined by writer and performer under the insightful watch of director Wynne Bredenkamp.
The production was set to make its debut at the National Arts Festival in Makhanda (formerly Grahamstown) in 2020 but had to enjoy a digital debut instead. The production went on to enjoy successful runs at both The Drama Factory and 44 On Long later that year. 2022 saw the production touring successfully to Paternoster, the Umtiza Festival in East London and up to Johannesburg for a two-week run at Theatre on the Square, and ended the year with two performances at Toyota US Woordfees.
Tickets cost R160 and to book, visit www.webtickets.co.za.
The shows take place at 19:30 on Friday, August 11 and 18:30 on Saturday, August 12.
