Acclaimed director Janice Honeyman returns to the Baxter stage in her production of Bangalory’s Back this festive season at the Baxter Golden Arrow Studio, from Wednesday, 9 December to Saturday, 9 January.
After decades of directing award-winning productions, Honeyman presents this new show - ideally suited for children aged 5 to 12 – which promises to be a highlight on the Cape Town calendar for the whole family.
From 1976 to 1977 she became a household name in South Africa when she presented the very first children’s television show Bangalory Time, and she brings along her usual brand of fun with Bangalory’s Back for which she has written five short stories with colourful illustrations, to bring to life the vibrancy of its characters and settings.
“In the Bangalory Story shop we will pick each story from the twirling tell-tale tree,” explains Honeyman. “It will be fast, fun, zany and sometimes even sad and touching. The shop will be decorated with mobiles, crafts, puppets, dolls and prompt props that suggest a space filled with stories. We hope to create a lovely sharing family experience so we’d love to see grandparents, parents and children attending. I would really like them to leave the auditorium feeling imaginatively stimulated, so we will also throw in some selfies and signing after the performances.”
Tickets coast R75 for bookings before Monday, 7 December and R95 thereafter. Booking for Bangalory’s Back is through Computicket or at any Shoprite Checkers outlet.
