18 June: Call us Crazy at Auto & General Theatre on the Square
The show Call us crazy is showing from 18 June to 6 July at Auto & General Theatre on the Square with Sello Sebotsane, Maritjie Bothma and Josias ‘Dos’ Moleele. Written and directed by Josias ‘Dos’ Moleele, Call us crazy is a hilarious comedy that sees South Africa laughing at itself. The play tells the story of a disillusioned road construction worker, Oompie, whose mission is to tar all the roads in the world. Having worked for the same construction company over 27 years, Oompie breaks ranks with his colleague in a huff, after concluding that they work for an ungrateful and chauvinistic employer.
While Oompie’s dream sounds like an impossible and idiotic idea, a finer line of an ambitious character emerges as he succeeds in opening his own construction company, which he aptly calls Vuka! Africa Road and Paving Construction Company.
The play gives humorous glimpses of South African life in the townships, urban and rural areas, unconvincing parliamentary debates, challenges in government and more uniquely South African scenarios.
Where: Auto & General Theatre, located on the north-eastern corner of Nelson Mandela Square, Sandton. Entrances to the Square and the parking garage are in West and 5th streets.
