Mamba performance will have you in stitches
Voss and van de Ruit are pleased to present their third offering in the trilogy of Mambas with their brand new show Mamba Republic that comes to the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre from Tuesday, 16 May to Sunday, 4 June.
MAMBA Republic comes to Durban’s Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre from Tuesday, 16 May until Sunday, 4 June.
Mamba Republic is a rapid-paced satirical sketch-comedy reuniting the talents of Ben Voss (Beauty Ramapelepele) and John van de Ruit (Spud), Mamba Republic takes a savagely funny look at all that is wrong and very wrong in the Rainbow Nation.
“It is good to be back on stage with Johnny bringing our third Mamba show to life. Scripting it has been such a fun journey already, and we can’t wait to share it with the rest of the country,” an enthusiastic Voss said.
With their unique blend of sharp wit, hopeless optimism and clever characterisation, the duo sinks their fangs into the fiascos, farces and foibles of South African life.
Whether it is their unique take on fees must fall, state capture, online dating, the economy, sport, technology, racism, an alternative national anthem, or even the most unusual football match in living memory, Mamba Republic will have you rolling in the aisles at the utter absurdity of life at the foot of Africa.
Internationally acclaimed author, Van de Ruit said, “Fellow Saffas, you are in for a treat. It has been said before that we, as South Africans, are really good at laughing at the state of our nation. We will be reminding audiences how much there is to laugh at and adding a bit of a mamba twist.”
Mamba Republic follows in the footsteps of Green Mamba (2002) and Black Mamba (2005) which together racked up over 800 performances in five years, winning numerous awards and developing a cult following all over Southern Africa.
Booking is open through Computicket or by phoning 0861 915 8000 or visiting the Money Market counters at Shoprite or Checkers.
