Godfrey Johnson Channels The Master at Afternoon Tea

Mad About The Boy

"I'll see you again, whenever spring breaks through again..."

How perfectly divine! Pringle Proms invites you to the most frightfully sophisticated soirée of the season—an afternoon where wit sparkles brighter than the sea, and sophistication is served alongside the scones.

The incomparable Godfrey Johnson—seven-time Fleur du Cap Theatre Awards nominee, musical director to the legendary Pieter-Dirk Uys, and the man who taught Brel to sing with a South African accent—transforms himself into The Master, Noël Coward, for one impossibly elegant afternoon.

Expect effervescent renditions of Coward's most delicious ditties:

Mad About The Boy

Mad Dogs and Englishmen

I'll See You Again

A Room with a View

I'll Follow My Secret Heart

Johnson, whose acclaimed "The Shadow of Brel" and recent triumph "VASLAV" (directed by the brilliant Lara Bye) have firmly established him as the thinking person's cabaret artist, brings his considerable talents to bear on Coward's sophisticated catalogue. His previous "Flirting with Coward" was merely the aperitif—this is the full feast.

The Particulars (because nothing kills sophistication quite like vulgarity)

A Pimm's cocktail upon arrival sets the properly British tone, followed by cucumber sandwiches (crusts removed, naturally—we're not barbarians), warm scones with jam and cream, carrot cake, chocolate cake, and an array of savoury delights that would make even the most jaded palate sit up and pay attention.

This is Afternoon Tea, darling, not High Tea. Though should you wish to supplement with your own "edibles," we shan't judge. Much.

Be welcome to bring your own bubbles.

Garden setting • Intimate atmosphere • Utterly unmissable

Because, as The Master himself would say, life's too short for mediocre entertainment and afternoon tea without proper cucumber sandwiches.

Bookings essential. Champagne temperament recommended. Common sense optional.
