Under an Irish Moon at Barnyard
2006-03-23
THE Barnyard Theatre at Bridge House presents ‘Under an Irish Moon’ on Friday 31 March.
It is a story told with jokes in a pub atmosphere by Cedric Vandenschrik, but it also explores the soulfulness and sometimes painful background that has created songs like Sunday Bloody Sunday, Zombie and I don’t like Mondays.
Ireland’s music tells a story of struggle and human triumph over hardship, but also of jubilation and joy even in the face of gloom.
Going from pop songs (Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morisson) to soft acoustic sounds (Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2 with guitar and voice), to high energy rock classics like the Boys are back in town by Thin Lizzy.
The band line-up will include drums, electric/acoustic guitar, bass, keyboards and fiddle.
Cheese boards from Dalewood on sale with Moreson wines on promotion.
For bookings, contact Debbie on 874-1505. Doors open at 18:30, show starts at 20:00.
* On 29 and 30 March at 19:30 you can see ‘Stepping Out’ by Richard Harris, directed by Lizinda Deysel.
Stepping Out is a warm and very funny comedy about the lives of a group of women and one man (!) attending a weekly tap-dance class in a dingy North London church hall.
But the steps and routines are just the background for the real focus of the play - the relationships and interactions of these ten very different people.
By their first public performance they have overcome their inhibitions, awkwardness and personality conflicts that have kept them out of sync.
The show is suitable for high school children and adults. Tickets are R25 per person. Phone Lauren Shone on 874-8100 for bookings and information.
