The Masque in Muizenberg is presenting The Golden Girls from Friday May 24 until Saturday June 1.
The Golden Girls is a sitcom from the late 80s and early 90s about four women living together in Miami and experiencing the joys and angst of their golden years: strong-willed Dorothy, spacey Rose, Southern belle Blanche and matriarch Sophia.
“The people who watched the show will fondly remember its catchy, signature theme tune with the words ‘Thank you for being a friend’, which encapsulates the essence of this very popular series,” says Faeron Wheeler, head of programming at The Masque.
Four episodes of the programme have been adapted for the stage.
Wayne Ronné has adapted the show and is directing it for the stage. The production features Gwendolen Ward, Tanya Smith, Katherine Fillmore and Kerith Coulson.
The Golden Girls will be performed on:
May 24, 25, 29, 30, 31 and June 1, at 7.30pm; and May 25 and 26 and June 1, at 2.30pm. Tickets cost from R120 through Quicket. For discounted block bookings of more than 10 tickets, email manager@themasque.co.za
The Masque Box Office is open from 9am to 2pm every Wednesday. The theatre is situated at 37 Main Road, Muizenberg, and parking is available at the venue, which has wheelchair access.
