LOCATION 1973
WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY: Martin Koboekae
CHOREOGRAPHED BY: Peter Mashego
Martin Koboekae’s riveting musical play “Location 1973” will be staged at the Windybrow Theatre, Johannesburg from June 16th until June 25th.
This mammoth musical comedy is a vibrant and often scary depiction of township life when soul music, wigs, bell-bottoms and promiscuity made for a heady mix of influences.
The story is set in the early ‘70’s in a small imaginary township and centres around Sox, played by Kennedy Chweneyagae, a rogue but often lovable member of the community who brings a lot of displeasure to others. He is accused of the brutal murder of a feared gangster. He has a solid alibi, but that alibi is even more devastating than the murdering of the gangster. What could it be?
Peter Mashego (from TV series Mzansi) plays Tefo, a merry teacher who spends more time in the shebeen than the classroom. His life is a litany of lies and ducking and diving.
“Location 1973” is filled with humour, adventure, township sleaze, promiscuity, romance and blood. Set against the then thriving soul music of the early seventies, “Location 1973” features a live band and an accomplished cast.
A must see comedy by Martin Koboekae.
