Martin Sherman’s acclaimed play Rose for Kalk Bay Theatre

Fresh from the National Arts Festival...

At the National Arts Festival, Cue described the production as “An astonishing brilliant solo performance, a deeply moving script - not to be missed…”

First performed at the National Theatre, London, in 1999 ‘Rose’ has been an immensely successful play since its inception. The play features seasoned actress Fiona York and is directed by stalwart Ben Hennessy.

The play chronicles a remarkable life and an amazing story of survival. Her journey starts in a tiny Russian village and takes her to the Warsaw ghettos and a ship called “The Exodus”, and finally to the boardwalks of Atlantic City, the Arizona canyons and the salsa-flavoured nights of Miami Beach. This is a sharply drawn portrait of a feisty Jewish woman and events that shaped a century.

Want dinner and a show? The Kalk Bay Theatre Cafe offers a scrumptious pre-show dinner from 6pm. ‘Rose’ will be performed at Kalk Bay Theatre Wednesday - Saturdays from 14 July to 6 August at 20:30, with a Sunday performance on 31 July at 19:30. Be part of the buzz of opening night on Thursday 14 July when tickets cost R175 and include snacks and wine. Snack platters will be available for the Sunday performance
