Ever wondered why those perennial New Year’s resolutions we all make to banish bad habits seldom outlast the fizz, crackle and pop of party time? Aaron McIlroy and Lisa Bobbert will treat fans to a plethora of clues underlying our failure to stick to the straight and narrow path of virtue when MacBob Productions presents the inimitable star duo’s take on The Seven Deadly Sins, taking place at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre from 6 February to 9 March.
In their latest stage showcase of weird and wonderful escapades, McIlroy and Bobbert probe the why’s and wherefore’s that underpin the staying power of Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Pride.
In a kaleidoscope of side-splitting scenarios set to have audiences clutching their abs and hanging onto their seats, theatre-goers will gain valuable insights into the lures of these bastions of vice and abandonment.
Adding value to the evening’s entertainment package will be a line-up of satirical visual production elements as well as a selection of musical items, including MacBob renderings of songs such as Shaggy’s “Hey, Sexy Lady”, Britney Spears’ “Toxic” and Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” among others.
With the award-winning likes of Steven Stead as director, Sue Monteregge as co-writer, lighting designer Michael Broderick, choreographer David Gouldie, and stylists Kevin Ellis and Gareth Greaves, The Seven Deadly Sins promises to roll out the wow factor for audiences over the next month.
Shows start at 7:30pm on Tuesdays to Saturdays and at 6pm on Sundays. Tickets cost R140 (R80 for the show’s preview performance on 6 February).
