KAY’S LULLABY Fleur du Cap-winning actor Sne Dladla is the musical director of this new dancedrama montage inspired by the life of the late Kay Hess and living with Alzheimer’s. Dladla has mashed up musical and dance genres – including African and hip hop. The performers are Natasha Hess, Romy Jo Swales, Jasmaine Rose and Liam Gillespie. Dladla: “Kay was Natasha’s grandmother. Kay was the inspiration, but this is not a true story. It’s a mixture of truth and imagination.” It is at The Galloway Theatre (Waterfront Theatre School) from Wednesday to Saturday. Tickets are R120 at www.waterfronttheatreschool. co.za or call Sharon on 082 772 8867. CATTLE DRIVE The Rosebank Theatre has extended the run of this three-hander, until November 16.
