Megan Furniss in Drive With Me returns to Upstairs at The Alexander Bar (after 3 sold out performances in November) with a two week run from Monday 30 June through to 12 July, pretty much the exact time of the Grahamstown Festival.
This will bring the festival to Cape Town without the hideous inconvenience of actually going to Grahamstown.
The Story…
Marion Taylor, a forty-nine year old academic, attends the National Arts Festival every year to give her talk on creative writing. Her lecture, The Road Trip, focusing on journeys and their symbols in fiction, is particularly popular, and the reason she keeps getting invited back onto the Thinkfest. Only this time something strange has happened to her on her own road trip to Grahamstown…
The Destination…
A personal, symbolic, engrossing story, intended to give an audience a thrilling theatrical experience. Combining the mundane, familiar and everyday, with a uniquely South African landscape and the deeply strange, Drive With Me is original, local and innovative; taking the audience on a journey in which they slowly come to the realisation that things are not what they seem… they are in a very strange place, with a very strange somebody…
