Cape Town April 2008: After playing to packed houses and standing ovations at the National Arts Festival, Grahamstown in both 2006 and 2007, and following a Midlands/Gauteng schools tour multi-talented Tim Redpath finally brings his one-man masterpiece Prodigal to Cape Town. The show will run for three weeks from April 1st to April 19th, Tuesdays to Saturdays at the cozy Intimate Theatre, in Gardens and will then be showing on Sundays and Mondays at the Kalk Bay Theatre from May 11th to May 25th.
A neatly plotted and superbly written classic for the modern age, Prodigal follows the tale of a young Eastern Cape farm boy as he decides to leave home and seek out his fortune in the racy and fast-paced city of Johannesburg. Snappy dialogue, split-second character changes, strong physical acting as well as exciting and innovative directing, helps one man bring a multi-faceted cast of characters to life.
From a story-telling Xhosa woman to a morally dubious Middle-Eastern restaurant owner named Joe; an opinionated professor to a Godfather-esque gangster, Redpath’s vocal dexterity takes us on a rollercoaster journey through this timeless drama filled with pride, rejection and sacrifice.
Created by director Dani Marais and playwright Lorraine Knox Cue News calls Prodigal, “Deeply moving. A must see!” and says that Redpath is, “A truly talented actor [who] delivers a gripping performance.” Don’t miss your opportunity to see this innovative piece of theatre.
