The Pervert Laura at the Fugard Theatre

A brilliant character study of a woman who starts to unravel as her dark past catches up to her

Clever, dark, subversive and twisted, The Pervert Laura is Louis Viljoen’s award-winning psycho-drama which will be on at the Fugard Studio Theatre from Wednesday, 6 May until Saturday, 30 May 2015.

Follow 30-year-old Laura over the course of a week, as she interacts with her therapist, attempts an affair in a sordid hotel room, and engages in destructive fights with her family which reveal her steady progression towards self-annihilation.

As Laura deviates from the path society chose for her and begins to disassemble her life, the audience slowly gains access to the dark past and secrets that are driving her to the edge of a passionate precipice and to dabble in the darker depths of the human psyche. Uncomfortable, tense and searching with an undercurrent of absurd humour, the play is brilliant in its script and its execution.

The story unfolds through four two-person scenes, which involve explosive dialogue and fascinating character interactions as people witness and react to Laura’s increasingly odd behaviour. The production received rave reviews in December 2014, and playwright Louis Viljoien was honoured with the Rosalie van der Gucht Prize for Best New Director, while Emily Child won the Best Lead Actress Award at the Fleur du Cap Theatre Awards in March 2015. Co-star Guy de Lancey also received a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his convincing performance.
