Great music is on offer at The Drama Factory during the month of March.
Audiences can get ready to enjoy some of their favourite hits with incredible artists in various tribute shows throughout the month.
There’s also Unfit & Forty, a hilarious comedy show with Alfred Adriaan, completing the line-up that’s guaranteed to lift your spirits, embrace the change of seasons and get you into the groove.
From the music of icons such as Elvis to Irish ballads for St Patrick’s Day and the hits of Roxette, there’s something for everyone.
“As we shift from the heat of busy summer into cool, calm autumn, we’ve got a collection of music that will make you want to join in,” says Sue Diepeveen, owner of The Drama Factory.
“We are also delighted to welcome Alfred Adriaan to The Drama Factory stage in his brand new show.”
The music and comedy programme is as follows:
Snakes, Shamrocks and Fairy Trees. Tickets cost R170 to R180.
Bonny at Morn is a Cape Town trio consisting of Guitar, Violin, and Bass, plus vocals. Inspired by British traditional music, the name comes from an old Northern English ballad.
Bonny at Morn play a wide selection of jigs, reels, lullabies, ballads and originals, with some Pentangle classics, jazz, blues and a smidgen of humour flung in.
For St.Patrick’s Day, Bonny at Morn present Snakes, Shamrocks and Fairy Trees a selection of tunes and songs from Ireland, from various periods of time.
Enjoy the golden opportunity for audience participation in the choruses. Your entertainers for the evening are Brian Easton (Guitar and vocals), Buhle Easton (vocals and percussion), River Weatherstone (violin, viola and vocals) and Ted Faulkner (upright bass and vocals).
Alfred Adriaan in Unfit & Forty. Tickets for the show cost R180 per person.
Following his sold-out run in 2022 Alfred is back with his new show, Unfit & Forty. In this latest comedy, he laments the trials and tribulations of a middle-aged, married man, as he hilariously looks at his own ageing, married life and his fear of being cancelled.
The Elvis Burning Love Tribute show. Tickets cost from R200 to R220. Arguably one of the most famous singers of all time, Elvis emerged from humble country beginnings to become a rock and roll phenomenon whose influence was so huge it still resonates today.

Produced, marketed and directed by Rainbow Dust & Music (Skye Wilson and Monique Sher), this show features a full band of musicians fronted by Doug Weich.
