The love between a mother and daughter turns to jealousy and
bitterness in this intense and personal drama. Ann Prentice falls
in love with Richard Caulfield and hopes for a new life and
happiness. Only her daughter, Sarah, takes an instant, jealous
dislike to him. Resentment slowly corrodes their relationship as
each seeks comfort in the formidable and knowing Dame Laura
Whitstable who remarks, "The trouble with sacrifice is that once
it's made it's not over and done with." "Christie is beady-eyed and
brutally honest on the psychology of the motherdaughter
relationship." THE GUARDIAN "The play is a revelation and its
emotional intensity is at variance with most of her crime plays.
This is Christie writing with her heart rather than her head. She
is not concerned with clues and suspects and alibis but with human
dilemmas and life choices." THE GUARDIAN
James Brent receives a chilling telephone call seemingly from
beyond the grave. His dead wife, Fay, is waiting for him at the
very place she met her grisly end. At his new wife's insistence,
they go to meet her as requested and in the process discover a
terrifying and disturbing truth.
Sir Luke Enderby, eminent prosecution barrister and seasoned
womaniser, bites off more than he can chew, when the case of a
serial killer comes back to haunt him. A tense one act thriller
that's contains one of Christie's most gruesome murders.
Trying to get their hands on more than a little inheritance, a
group of young people hide the body of a dead tycoon. But what
starts as a lark quickly becomes all too serious when they discover
that the body is in fact a murder victim. A comedy about business
and finance, with a strong undercurrent of criminal activity, the
play combines humour, intricate plotting and a confounding murder.
"A different Agatha Christie. The play has deserted the familiar
path of the whodunnit type thriller into the realms of black
comedy. The action is played for laughs rather than chills, but
once the storyline has been established, there is plenty of humour
and sparkle to carry it along to the usual surprise climax." THE
STAGE
A famous artist invites her old friends to her luxurious new home.
For one night only, the group is back together. But celebrations
come to an abrupt end when the host suffers an horrific accident.
As the victim lies in a coma, an almost unthinkable plan starts to
take shape: could her suffering be their next work of art? Pool (No
Water) is a visceral and shocking new play about the fragility of
friendship and the jealousy and resentment inspired by success.
Kein Stein bleibt auf dem anderen, seit Alik Sokolov als Kredithai
in Deutschland das Zepter schwingt. Was Wunder aber auch bei den
Wucherzinsen fur Start-ups wie Mobit, ein Unternehmen, das drauf
und dran ist, mit der klassischen Teleportation in die Annalen
einzugehen. Und selbst wenn die Autohersteller demnach wenigstens
noch uber den Personenverkehr gebieten, haben die so schon durch
den chinesischen Vorstoss von Middle Kingdom genug Probleme am
Hals. Der Grund jedenfalls fur Kleinanleger wie Andrey Zosimoff,
die Mittel aus heimischen Traditionsunternehmen abzuziehen und sie
stattdessen Zockern wie Alik Sokolov und sohin Mobit anzuvertrauen.
Paradoxerweise investiert Mobit allerdings die erhaltenen Gelder in
Middle Kingdom. Und erst scheint die Rechnung auch aufzugehen, ist
der Borsengang der Chinesen ein Mordserfolg und vermag Mobit mit
dem Verkauf einzelner Papiere den Zahlungsaufforderungen Alik
Sokolovs spielend nachzukommen. Wie sich freilich der MK Mini als
Reinfall entpuppt und sich die institutionellen Investoren nach und
nach von ihren Papieren trennen, ist die Kacke am Dampfen, ruhrt
selbst eine Mutti, die Frau Bundeskanzlerin, vergeblich die Trommel
... Unter der Rose ist eine Politsatire, kurzweilig, spritzig,
pfiffig, phasenweise spannend auch wie ein Thriller. Von
Prostitution uber Mord bis hin zum schmahlichen
Vertrauensmissbrauch und Ende einer Freundschaft bietet sie alles,
um den Leser auf seiner Reise zur versohnlichen Losung bei Laune zu
halten

Hierdie drama handel oor tien tieners in ’n bos by ’n oorlewingskamp waar spoke, hormone, groepsdruk en goggas die senuwees behoorlik laat knyp. KAMP KOERSHOU is nie vir sissies nie. Want grootword is nie “lekker” nie. Grootword is pyn. En “verwonding".
Die tien jeugdiges vertrek op 'n oorlewingskamp, in 'n bos, onder toesig van 'n paramilitaire instrukteur. Dit is hulle rite of passage sodat hulle weerbaar ‒ paraat! ‒ die grens na volwassenheid kan oorsteek. Maar hoe hou jy koers as jy nie weet waarheen jy wil gaan nie?
Die toneelstuk is in 2012 by die KKNK opgevoer met regie deur Marthinus Basson en Stian Bam in die hoofrol.
