THE UGLY NOO NOO - HILTON ARTS FESTIVAL 2022

The Ugly Noo Noo, featuring the infamous Parktown Prawn, rocked the theatre world in 1988. Playwright Andrew Buckland consequently became a legend in South African theatre. Now, 30 years later, it has not lost any of its power, as it deftly and humorously shows how fear can be used to manipulate, dominate, exploit and destroy. A slice of South African history interwoven with comedy …. after all, it stars a sort of a cockroach!

This production showcases the high energy technical skill of its performer, Mpilo ‘Straw’ Nzimande. Nzimande has become a commanding presence in KZN theatre with his extraordinary performances in Woza Albert, Master Harold and the Boys, Feedback, Hamlet and Othello. Directed by Peter Mitchell, whose production of Coetzee’s The Blue Period of Milton van der Spuy won a Silver Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival.
