Elzabé Zietsman – Femme is Fatale, November 19
This one-day-only show at the Atterbury Theatre is an award-winning original cabaret, starring stage veteran Elzabé Zietsman and pianist Tony Bentel as they use stories and songs to shed light on gender-based violence, womanhood, dreams, love, friendship, acceptance… and murder.
Zietsman’s brave and unforgettable performance is an opportunity to see her at her peak as master of cabaret. She tackles a poignant text about the plight of women in South Africa and by seamlessly integrating songs, she creates a moving and sincere experience for the audience.
The show kicks off at 15:00.
