Living Remote at the Kalk Bay Theatre this August

Bertha’s guide to life, love and pharmaceuticals

The hilarious award-winning actress Anthea Thompson comes to Kalk Bay Theatre with her hysterical comic creation Bertha Cummings. For those who have not yet met this eccentric septuagenarian, they will be delighted by her crazy observations, mad-cap antics and irreverent sense of humour.

First performed as part of the all female comic group Cracks and the City, Bertha now appears in her own one-woman vehicle Living Remote: Bertha’s guide to life, love and pharmaceuticals.

In this show, she explores the lighter side of ageing and the delights of roaming the Wynberg pharmacy for the latest geriatric accoutrements. Bertha continues to share with us the pleasures of healing and dealing and welcomes all audience types: healthy and ailing.

So don’t miss out on this brand new one-woman romp from a character that is the Southern Suburb’s Mother Theresa but in better sandals and with a few choice bad habits. Directed by Alan Committie.

Tickets cost R115p/p, with an opening week special for the performances on 25, 26 and 27 August when tickets cost only R80p/p. Enjoy the buzz of opening night with snacks and drinks – tickets cost R180p/p.
