2 performances between March 30, 2013 and June 24, 2013
Comedy
by Becky Mode, performed by Pieter Bosch Botha, directed by Megan Furniss
55mins

The return of the behind-the-scenes hit! One restaurant, 1 actor, 36 Characters, and over 200 character changes! This smash hit Off-Broadway comedy is spiced up with a whole lot of familiar homegrown flair. Starring Pieter Bosch Botha and directed by Megan Furniss and written by award-winning American playwright, Becky Mode.

This devastatingly funny one act follows a day in the life of Sam Cooper, an out-of-work actor who mans the red-hot reservation line at Cape Town's number one restaurant. Desperate callers will stop at nothing, coercion, threats, bribes, and histrionics, in their zeal to land a prime reservation.

Rat­ing: 9/10 “near-perfect one-man show…This is unre­lent­ing humour at its best…” — THE CITIZEN, Sibu­siso Mkwanazi

“Botha has got it just about perfect…an absolute delight.” — THE DAILY MAVERICK, Les­ley Stones

“Bosch se tre­f­sekere spel, tesame met ’n stewige skeut humor en patos, sorg vir boeiende teater.” - BEELD, Rudolf Stehle

The bar is much to pricey. Pity as it is such a pleasant environment.

Excellent play, poor seating on extra chairs when we had pre-booked, also could not sit next to each other! Very poor booking service, off-putting!

I loved this production. It was fun, funny, fast, snappy! Pieter's characterisation was superb - each was distinguishable from the next by voice and mannerism. Would see it again and again. Well done to Megan too and grateful thanks to all at Alexander Bar for fabulous venue.

It was fantastic! They've enhanced some of the characters - and I love the changes. I could see this play at least once a month just for the giggles and to revel in Pieter's mastery. It should [and will] do really well in G'town

Very impressive acting and greatly amusing throughout the whole show! Thank you for a full hour of laughter! Amazing how many personalities, faces, voices he portrayed, but not just that, he switched so fast between them, and did unfalteringly so! WOW!
