Wardrobe malfunction adds a giggle to 'Macbeth'
Skinnerbek
YOUR Skinnerbek is going to surprise you this week with news she does appreciate her Shakespeare... especially when there's a hunky lead actor involved!
I'm not ordinary turned on by kilts but my word, Gareth Bain is a hottie in Pemads' and the PE Shakespearean Festival's Macbeth, which opened at the Little Theatre on Tuesday.
And the man can act, too. I was seriously impressed by this production which has been given a Scottish flavour, but as for Mark Farrow, who played Macduff... the man suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction when his kilt came loose in the final scene.
I could say it was hanging by a thread but somehow that doesn't sound proper. At least we know director Lesley Barnard had firmly instructed her actors to wear undies! The rest of the week was rather quiet and so I'm sure all those party invites must have got lost in my mailbox.
On Sunday I made my way to KwaLunga General Jazz in Zwide. I had to put on my best number in the hopes of scoring a sugar daddyo – yes, my dahlings – petrol is very expensive these days.
Seriously, the sugar daddy phenomenon is not something your classy columnist is ever going to stoop to. Payla Zanda made me forget my woes as he took me down memory lane with his soul ballads. I was not the only one who was impressed – the ladies could not stop screaming their lungs out.
The patrons of KwaLunga then went to a nearby tavern, KwaVuyane. I heard it from the green flies that it was the first time they saw more than one car at that tavern.
Anyway, the patrons attempted to teach the young ones about responsible drinking. I hope it was not in vain as youngsters do have a tendency of wanting to drown their sorrows.
As I was minding my own business (playing a tourist to get a little attention) I nearly choked on my drink when I saw that the tavern's braai area where people were queuing up was right by the loos, ugh.
With that I decided to leave and get ready for Eyethu Sport Bar where heavyweight house DJ Clock and Q-Bass were to set the dance floor on fire. Who could forget DJ Clock with his national hit song Ngomso (Tomorrow). I wanted to party till the next day.
You can imagine the disappointment on my face when I was told there was no sign of DJ Clock or Q-Bass. I wonder what happened? Needless to say it was useless staying longer.
Have a happy week and make sure those invites get to me pronto!
