Last year Johnny Boskak is Feeling Funny, with Craig Morris and written by Greig Coetzee, was performed at the Kalk Bay Theatre. Audiences were flabbergasted and clambered for tickets. The work is back at the venue for one week only, from 20 July. The play is a modern Bonnie & Clyde love story written in almost Shakespearean rhyme, performed by a genius at his craft about a man who is superficially the scum of South Africa.
Where does Johnny Boskak fit in the new South Africa? He’s a dispossessed, white, working-class South African who served in the military during the apartheid years. Is he a white trash dinosaur? Or is he the last cowboy hero in boots and blue jeans? What we know is that he’s on the road, looking for love, redemption, an AK47 and the quickest way out of Secunda …
The play has been highly praised, with reviewers calling it “phenomenal theatre” reaching “seemingly effortless perfection”.
