earthside returns to Theatre Arts due to popular demand following its acclaimed run last month earthside is an auto-biographical one-woman dark comedy written and performed by Candice Bernstein (Gruesome Playground Injuries, Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues). The play is directed by multiple-award winning Jennifer Steyn (Faustus in Africa!, The Beauty Queen of Leenane, Lara Foot’s The Inconvenience of Wings). Lighting Design is by Kieran McGregor (The Father, Expelled, The Sin Drinkers). earthside explores Bernstein’s journey as a first-time mother while she navigates love, loss and ridiculously built underground parking structures. “Tender, poignant & funny with Candice beguiling the audience” Robyn Cohen, The Cape Robyn “A testament to authentic and moving work” Tracey Saunders, Heart of Theatre “Raw, personal and incredibly engaging.” Miriam Leichtling earthside looks at the raw, chaotic and unpredictable space between life and death, diving head-first into the bittersweet reality of grieving while also becoming a first-time mother: where joy and sorrow collide in the most absurd ways. With humour as its guide, earthside takes an unflinching look at the complexity of existing in the in-between. It's a personal journey filled with moments of levity, deep reflection and plenty of irreverence.
Theatre Arts is at Theatre Arts Methodist Church Hall, Cnr Milton Road and Wesley Street, Observatory, 7925, Cape Town.
