ABOUT
The Ugly Noo Noo, a groundbreaking one-man show by Andrew Buckland, directed by his wife Janet, revolutionized South African theatre. Premiering at the Market Theatre in 1988, it earned 17 national and international awards—including a Fringe First and Perrier Pick of the Fringe nod at Edinburgh—for its script, direction, and performance.
A surreal comic encounter with the infamous Parktown Prawn becomes a biting satire of suburban fear and political control under apartheid. Buckland’s explosive physicality and razor-sharp commentary turn a bizarre insect tale into a timeless exploration of fear and power, still as hilarious and relevant today as it was decades ago.
Don’t miss this theatrical tour de force that’s been hailed as “a masterpiece of comic physical performance.”
