GRAAFF-REINET ENTERTAINMENT NEWS - South African theatre company - Contagious Theatre, whose work has been enjoyed by audiences both locally and abroad, will be bringing two shows - Silkworm and Stof - to the John Rupert Theatre in Graaff-Reinet on 27 and 28 February, respectively.

Silkworm is a story told through the eyes of the at once gregarious and socially awkward Georgina. Georgina is about to have the single most important day of her life. On this day, she takes the audience on a journey that reveals how the small things are, ultimately, big things.

Silkworm makes extensive use of storytelling and clowning techniques borrowed from Italy’s Helikos School of Theatre Creation, adding a dollop of humour and a touch of whimsy.

The result is a theatrical experience that explores, pushes, and ultimately punctures the gossamer thin veil that divides the wistfully surreal from the frighteningly real.

James Cairns stars in the hilariously funny, Stof (originally the hit show ‘Dirt’ written by Nick Warren - now translated into Afrikaans).

On a journey from Johannesburg to Cape Town the trio trade insinuations, insults, and injuries as they try to dig up the past and bury the present.
