Lebogang Mogashoa to Dish THE REAL DIRT at Alexander Upstairs this August

THE REAL DIRT, written and performed by Lebogang Mogashoa and directed by Hayleigh Evans, will play Alexander Upstairs this August.

Within a two-year period that coincided with his thirtieth birthday, Lebogang Mogashoa moved countries, lost a parent, and changed careers. He insisted that he was fine: all he needed was chardonnay, an entire carrot cake and a good night's sleep - every single day. But when he was mugged at gun point just before his thirty-first birthday, he suddenly found himself buried under the weight of three decade's worth of terrifying experiences. In THE REAL DIRT, he examines some of those experiences through gratifyingly personal and hilarious stories that arrive at a satisfying moment of human connection, and an Apple product.

THE REAL DIRT runs from 13 - 20 August. Tickets cost R100-R120 and can be booked online at the Alexander Bar website or purchased at the bar. For telephone bookings and enquiries, call 021 300 1652. Alexander Bar & Café is situated at 76 Strand Street in the Cape Town city centre and can be followed on Facebook and Twitter.
