Theatre Group Heart proudly presents a new comedy/drama production by Grant Jacobs about a couple caught up in a colourful catastrophe entitled Colour Me In. The Socialite finds out more…

Colour Me In explores relationship dynamics, interracial relationships and what actually lies beneath the surface of these seemingly comic arguments that frequently come up in between couples in this day and age.

 Lindy is a young-up-and-coming business woman. She’s taken the liberty of arranging a couples’ counselling session for her and husband-to-be, the not-convinced Simon. The couple arrive at what looks like a yoga class for two but soon dissolves from deep breathing to a shoe-throwing, screaming match. They go through painful confrontation, deliberately digging up dirt on each other and playing the blame-game until they simultaneously run into a wall.

 “Is this a race thing?” Simon asks shyly. “No…Is this a race thing?” Lindy asks questionably.

 Where do you stand with interracial relationships?

 Funnily enough, Simon and Lindy aren’t sure either. Join them as they go from ridiculous arguments which you may find all too familiar, to the core of what may destroy their relationship.

 Starring two of Durban’s freshest talents, Caitlin Kilburn who has just arrived back from a stint in Seoul, where she played Sheila in Day In The Death Of Joe Egg but Durban audience’s may remember her most from her unforgettable performance as Aldonza in Man Of La Mancha. The show also stars Standard Bank Ovation Award-winner Grant Jacobs, best known for his performances in the Bob & Rob shows and his award winning show PaperBoy! which has travelled South Africa and beyond.

 Colour Me In will be directed by Dutch director Denise Lukkenaer (Amsterdam), who was seen earlier this year at the Musho! Festival with lighting by Nosipho Bophela.

 Colour Me In will run at the Catalina Theatre from 22 March-1 April. Shows start at 7:30pm Thursdays-Saturday and 5:00pm Sunday. For more info or to book, contact 031 3056889.
