Final Extension Announced For Hit Rom-Com HAPPY NEW YEAR (A PLAY WITH SONGS) At Fugard Theatre

The hilarious, heart-warming rom com HAPPY NEW YEAR (A Play With Songs) has been extended and must now end on 23 March at The Fugard Studio Theatre.

Presented by Eric Abraham and The Fugard Theatre HAPPY NEW YEAR (A Play With Songs), is adapted by South African icon David Kramer from the hit, award-winning play MIDSUMMER (A Play With Songs) by David Greig and Gordon McIntyre.

Directed by internationally acclaimed director and former Artistic Director of The Tricycle Theatre in London, Nicolas Kent, the cast stars popular actors Bianca Flanders (Krotoa - Eva Van De Kaap, The Demon Bride, Aunty Merle the Musical, Blood Brothers, Orpheus in Africa, Kristalvlakte) as Lee-André, and Dean Balie (Orpheus in Africa, Blood Brothers, Kat and the Kings, Hamlet, Babbelagtig, Sweet Bird of Youth), as Dan.

High flying divorce lawyer Lee-André meets car salesman and small-time criminal Dan in a bar one midsummer's night when the married man she's been seeing cancels their date. She's out of Dan's league, he's totally not her type, but when these two disparate souls come together, a wild weekend of alcohol-infused adventure and abandon ensues. Between bridge-burning, car chases, wedding bust ups and self-loathing hangovers, they discover they are not so different after all, and that maybe there are second chances at life - and love.

HAPPY NEW YEAR (A Play With Songs) is adapted by David Kramer from the original MIDSUMMER (A Play With Songs) by David Greig and Gordon McIntyre. Direction is by Nicolas Kent, Set Design is by Chris Pienaar, Costume Design by Widaad Albertus, Lighting Design by Marie Roux, Sound Design is by David Classen and Illustration is by Lucie de Moyencourt.
