Steven Berkoff’s sensational international comedy hit is back!
DECADENCE
12th – 30th April
This naughty little number is a feast for all the senses…sex, temptation, indulgence, glorious extravagance,
desire… and a touch of murder! DECADENCE is theatre at its best - a risqué story of love and obsession, written by infamously mischievous British playwright, Steven Berkoff. The production will be performed by multiple Fleur du Cap nominee, Scott Sparrow and Fleur Du Cap nominee and winner Emily Child.
It will be presented at The Old Mutual Theatre on the Square from the 12th – 30th April in association with The Mechanicals theatre company of Cape Town - and directed by acclaimed comedic expert, Christopher Weare. DECADENCE was presented by the Old Mutual Theatre on the Square nearly a decade ago, starring Michael Richard and Fiona Ramsay.
The biting play is a comment on British society. It traces the sensual exploration of two couples’ hysterical love affairs and unusual fetishes, DECADENCE comments on the complex dynamics of man’s relationships not only with the opposite sex, but with food and copious amounts of money. Helen, Steve, Sybil and Les have seemingly nothing in common, except for their apparent inability to resist temptation...
The new production of DECADENCE played to two previous sold out seasons to critical acclaim
in Cape Town. In 2010 DECADENCE was the recipient of the 2009 Fleur Du Cap’s People’s Choice Award. DECADENCE is delicious and not to be missed – early bookings are strongly recommended. There are special discounts for group bookings, student groups, seniors citizens - and dinner /show packages can be arranged.
The critics have raved:
“Fearless young performers deliver a breathlessly entertaining and edgy production” 48 hours
“…theatre at its most imaginative and expressive, Decadence is compulsory viewing” Daniel Dercksen
“… brilliantly choreographed by director Christopher Weare” Brent Meersman, M&G
“…miss this production at your peril! Marianne Thamm Sunday Times
