The Agents, a trio of mischievous performers who tear into the cut-throat world of property development, gentrification and Fancy Estate Living, will have the audience of The Drama Factory in stitches from Thursday 22 to Saturday 24 August.
From slick real-estate agents to clueless homebuyers to neighbourhood watch groups, no-one is safe from their hilariously sharp critiques. Irreverent, macabre and ridiculous: this show is a must-see for anyone who loves a spicy, laugh-out-loud cringefest.
Meet Venter, Linda (she’s new here) and the ever-effervescent Brenda in an outrageous satirical comedy that tears the absurdities of the real-estate industry apart. Created and performed by Lisa Derryn Overy, Kyla Davis and Roberto Pombo, and directed by physical theatre maestro Toni Morkel, The Agents has finally landed in Cape Town after knock-out runs in Johannesburg and the National Arts Festival, where it was praised as a “gem” of the festival and scooped a Standard Bank Ovation Award.
It is created by Robaby Productions, which emerged on the theatrical scene with Father, Father, Father! in 2014, a cult hit that left audiences shocked with its deliciously dark narrative. Since then the company has remained a beacon of innovation, consistently pushing storytelling boundaries over a decade.
- The Agents take to The Drama Factory stage at 19:30 on Thursday and Friday, and 14:30 on Saturday.
- Tickets cost R180 (standard) and R160 (pensioners and scholars); book your place online at www.thedramafactory.co.za.
