The Ugly Noo Noo at The Market Theatre

Andrew Buckland's seminal one-man show, The Ugly Noo Noo, returns to Johannesburg this August at The Market Theatre. Originally staged in 1988, the production explores the manipulation of fear in challenging times, drawing on the irrational dread connected to South Africa's Parktown Prawn. This powerful piece of allegorical Protest Theatre highlights universal truths while showcasing Buckland's distinctive physical style. The run coincides with significant reflections on the country's democracy, emphasizing the ongoing relevance of art as a form of critique and social commentary.
