Gloucester Productions is thrilled to present a 2024 staging of Peter Schaffer’s classic text AMADEUS.
This Tony award winning play was first staged in 1979 and has had numerous productions presented all over the world since then. In addition, there was an Oscar award winning movie made in 1984.
This thrilling drama has all the elelments: Suspense, comedy, rousing music and great characters.
In the court of the Austrian Emperor Joseph II, Antonio Salieri is the established composer. Enter the greatest musical symphonist of all time: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Salieri has given himself to God so that he might realize his sole ambition, to be a great melodist. Mozart, however, is a foul-mouthed, graceless oaf who has that which is beyond Salieri’s envious grasp: Genius.This is Salieri’s passionate telling of his act of vengeance in response to Mozart!
Peter Schaffer has given us a gripping, intriguing study of the roots of envy and the haphazard nature of genius.
AMADEUS is brimming with gloriously evocative text and soaring snatches of Mozart’s music and promises to be a vivid theatrical occasion.
Award winning director – Geoff Hyland – takes the helm of Amadeus.
His production team include: Illka Louw with costume design, Oliver Hauser with lighting, Gideon Lombard working on the sound design and Nadine Minnaar constructing the scenic elements.
Two time Fleur du Cap Best actor winner – Alan Committie – heads up the cast playing Antonio Salieri. The rest of the cast to be announced shortly.
Bookings are now open and can be made through Webtickets or Theatre On The Bay on 021 438 3300.

A story that moves from pure nostalgia, through extreme heartache, to unbridled joy… The Return of Elvis du Pisanie is all at once – sad, amusing and gloriously uplifting…
Eddie du Pisanie (played by Ashley Dowds) – a forty-six year old East Rand salesman is retrenched and decides life is no longer worth living. He writes a suicide note to his wife and is about to gas himself in his car in the garage, when he switches on the car radio. The Elvis Presley song he hears does more than take him back 30 years – it recalls an event in his childhood that changed his life forever. Abandoning, for the moment the idea of suicide, he drives the 200 kilometre journey to the town in which he grew up, to a lamp post opposite the ex-Carlton Bioscope in Witbank, there to retrace his life, to try to find out what went wrong, how it went wrong, and – perhaps most importantly, why it went wrong…
Can we change our own destinies…? “Elvis” du Pisanie is about to find out…

Theatre On The Bay from 25 September to 5 October, 2024.
MARC EUGENE LOTTERING is Lottering’s newest stand-up show. And yes, that really is his second name.
In this show, Lottering shares his findings on where he thinks his colourful family tree stems from. As is to be expected, his viewpoints are hilariously outrageous after his mom, when he was little, promised him that they were all originally “blonde German-Caribbeans”.
Lottering is one of South Africa’s top comedians, having written 20 one-man shows and 3 smash hit musicals. He has been nominated for, and received several prestigious theatre awards along the way.
This year, Lottering has been inducted into the Comics Choice Hall of Fame.
MARC EUGENE LOTTERING is not suitable for children.
