Pornography at The Intimate Theatre
Hot young playwright, Amy Jephta, stages her latest work, Pornography, at The Intimate Theatre, from 28 September to 9 October.
Frank (Charlie Keegan, League of Glory) is on a straight road to nowhere. He’s got no job; no plans to get a job; no talent; and while other people seem to be able to crack the system, Frank just can’t do it. Along for the ride is his girlfriend, Marg (Taryn Nightingale, System Dop), who’s dragged them both out to her family home for a weekend to watch her sister get married. Stuck together in a basement room, Frank and Marg start to chip away at one another and realize that their lives are on a continuous spiral to down.
But Frank has a plan that could see the two of them become overnight millionaires and his idea is - almost - foolproof. With one night to outwit and undo each other, Frank and Marg find themselves drawn into a lawless game of power and manipulation – a greedy free-fall where the stakes are high; the consequences are deadly; and morality is almost non-existent...
This tale of sex and sleaze brings together three of Cape Town’s hottest talents. Fleur Du Cap winner, Charlie Keegan has been gracing TV screens in M-Net's League of Glory; has seen the stage as Iago in Geoffrey Hyland's Othello; and Ferdinand in Janice Honeyman's The Tempest. Standard Bank Ovation Award winner, Taryn Nightingale, performed at the Grahamstown Festival with her hit show, System Dop, winning a Standard Bank Silver Ovation Award. The two are reined in by writer and director Amy Jephta, the winner of the Baxter Theatre’s first Emerging Theatre Director’s Bursary. This is her third show of 2010, after critical success with Interiors and Kitchen. Her unique writing style is once again evident in this dirty little drama.
