50 SHADES OF BAMBI Comes to The Fugard Theatre in August

Pieter-Dirk Uys stars as Bambi Kellermann in a new cabaret entitled 50 Shades of Bambi, at the Fugard Theatre in Cape Town, from 6 to 24 August 2013.

Bambi Kellermann is Evita Bezuidenhout`s younger sister. She is the chalk to Tannie`s cheese. Stripper, sex worker and grande horizontal who graduated from the University of Sex Cum Laude. A Fleur du Cap Winner (2010) for Best Performance in a Cabaret, Bambi is back at the Fugard Theatre in August in the world premiere of her new fabulous onslaught against the prudish, the improper and the pathetic. The book ``50 Shades of Grey`` was focused on one specific colour of behaviour. Bambi`s cabaret includes a rainbow selection of other choices. It is also her journey from teenage confusions, through youthful experimentation, into middle-aged compromise to her twilight-year common sense about life, love, laughter and lies. It`s not just about sex,it`s about enjoying what comes naturally. And if it`s not natural, be careful.

With Musical Director Godfrey Johnson at the piano, Bambi takes a raunchy ride to the other side of daily life: relationships, trust, happiness, hope, love and fidelity. Sex is the full-frontal focus, with words, music, toys and tinsel. Recommended to anyone who believes in freedom of expression and the right to choose what is best for them when the lights are low-all presented with the wisdom of experience, humour of recall and songs that remind and remain.

With Women's Day on 9 August, this show is appropriately timed, with a strong focus on the Fairer Sex, and sees Bambi on a new exciting road - her long walk in high-heels to the freedom of expression - in bed, in conversation and in song.

50 Shades of Bambi is at the Fugard Theatre for a limited season from 6 to 24 August 2013, with performances Wednesdays and Thursdays at8pm, and on Fridays and Saturdays at 7pm and 9pm. Tickets cost R150 through Computicket or 0861915000 or via the Fugard box office on 0214614554. Special discounts are available for the Friends of the Fugard.
