DIRTY WORDS to Play Kalk Bay Theatre, 7-19 October

DIRTY WORDS, the deliciously clever and delightfully naughty smash hit, runs at Kalk Bay Theatre this October.

Filthy, explicit and incredibly funny, DIRTY WORDS pulls back the covers on erotica, chat sex, dirty talk and naughty sexy grammar. In seven sketches, actors Kim Kerfoot and Danieyella Rodin turn up the raunch, slipping in sexy tongue twisters and burlesque shenanigans. Warning: this show contains all the dirty words.

Presented by Jack Hardcastle, written by Jon Keevy and directed by Keevy with Jason Potgieter, DIRTY WORDS was born as short dirty sketches at the fast and loose crucible that is Alexander Upstairs' monthly experimental platform, PLAY THINGS. It mmediately became a cult sensation, with audiences eagerly awaiting the next instalment and demanding a full show. Well, they got their full monty in April 2014. The short run quickly sold out, nabbing five star reviews from audiences and critics for the show's brazen mix of sex and smarts. It went on to stun and shock at the National Arts Festival where it picked up a Standard Bank Ovation Award.

Writer and co-director Jon Keevy is a prolific writer, designer and director. He is also a production manager and runs the Upstairs theatre at Alexander Bar and Café, which is the second theatre he has founded in his busy career in the theatre industry. Keevy graduated from UCT in 2007 with a Master of Arts in theatre-making and has produced plays at the National Arts Festival, as well as touring to Johannesburg and Rwanda.

Actor Kim Kerfoot is more well known as a director of plays like Athol Fugard's STATEMENTS MADE AFTER AN ARREST UNDER THE IMMORALITY ACT (for which he won the 2013 Rosalie van der Gucht Prize For Best New Director at the Fleur Du Cap Awards) and Patrick Marber's CLOSER, as well as Fugard's "MASTER HAROLD"... AND THE BOYS and Keevy's GET KRAKEN! (which won a Standard Bank Ovation Award at National Arts Festival in 2013). DIRTY WORDS marks a rare stage appearance for the director.

Danieyella Rodin is a singer-actress who is able to use both skills in DIRTY WORDS. A Rhodes graduate who has thrown herself into the Cape Town theatre world by studying an Honours at UCT, Rodin has performed with The Mechanicals (A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, directed by Guy De Lancey, and THE GREAT GATSBY, directed by Luke Ellenbogen) and alongside Bo Peterson in the Chaeli Campaign's IN THE WINGS, which was nominated for two 2013 Naledi awards, including Robin's own nomination for Best Newcomer. She has also been seen in work by the Rust Co-Operative and Louis Viljoen. She is also the frontwoman of Cape Town band, KRAAL.
