• Defending the Caveman
  Tim Plewman, the "only original" master of "Defending the Caveman" is back by popular demand, in the longest-running and most successful solo comedy in South African theatre history.
  
  Caveman still holds the record of the longest running non-musical solo comedy of all time on Broadway. What more can be said about this wonderful show that so humorously exposes the hunter and gatherer in us all and has played to over a million people?
  
  Penned by Rob Becker, Plewman adapted the script for Southern Africa and went on to win the Vita Award for Best Actor in a comedy.
  
  Tim Plewman`s way of managing to `capture` his audience in his hands is palpable. It is an incredible performance with one person on stage giving of his all. You can laugh one moment and be digging your partner in his/her ribs because of the truth of the comments, the next. All the tales ring home in such an incredible way. It is extraordinarily funny and worth every cent to spend an evening laughing until you cry.
  
  Updated, upgraded and totally uploadable to today`s world of tweets, selfies and six million Facebook friends, this production is still a hilarious, affectionate and insightful comedy that explains why men and women see the world so differently, and will have you looking at your partner with new eyes.
  After years of hearing that all men are assholes, the Caveman once again stands up to be counted.
  
  And being a troglodyte, standing upright is not an easy thing to do.Come and have the last laugh with legendary actor Tim Plewman in his first "farewell season". This new production has been updated to reflect today`s world of tweeting, selfies and Facebook but still consists of the core comedy about why men and women see the world so differently. The show is the longest running solo play in Broadway history and has been seen in over 40 countries.

• Francois van Coke en Vriende
  AMP Events is proud to present `Francois van Coke & Vriende 2019`
  
  After the success of a sold-out show at Sun Arena in Pretoria, September 2018, Capetonians have been begging for Francois van Coke & Vriende to come to the Mother City.
  
  Francois van Coke was raised in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town and rose to fame as the legendary front man of celebrated South African rock bands Fokofpolisiekar (2003 - to date) and Van Coke Kartel (2007 - 2017).
  
  Francois launched his solo career in 2015 with the release of the most poignant ballad of that year, `Toe vind ek jou` featuring Karen Zoid.
  
  At the beginning of 2018 it was decided that Francois should celebrate his then 15-year legacy as rock icon and local music pioneer. The result was a 2-hour rock spectacular hosted by Francois; showcasing his collaborations with various prestigious artists with whom he has crafted some of the most memorable South African songs.
  
  `I`ve had the privilege to collaborate with some of South Africa`s finest musicians. The Francois van Coke & Vriende 2018 Pretoria show was without a doubt THE HIGHLIGHT of my career. It was inevitable that I bring this to my city, Cape Town. Whatever you do, don`t miss out on this special night. I know that it is going to be a highlight for you too,` says Francois about this rock spectacular.
  
  The backbone of this show will be Francois van Coke with his band, Die Gevaar, who will perform various songs from his solo career. During the show his friends will join him on stage to perform the anthems they created together, as well as hits from their own catalogue.
  
  The friends for Cape Town are: Jack Parow, Majozi, Fokofpolisiekar, Die Heuwels Fantasties, Laudo Liebenberg, Coenie de Villers, Early B, Arno Carstens, Van Coke Kartel and Riana Nel.

• Into The Woods
  Pieter Toerien and Kickstart present Stephen Sondheim`s Into the Woods.
  
  Into the Woods is a sleek and sexy beast of a musical. It is in turn moody and magical, witty and wise. It provides the kind of intellectual and emotional satisfaction, and the kind of exhilarating theatrical experience that you would expect from Stephen Sondheim, the creator of musical masterpieces such as Sweeney Todd and West Side Story.
  
  Follow the trials and adventures of a collection of well-known fairy-tale characters from Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Red Riding Hood as they all go into the deep, dark woods on separate quests, and their paths cross and intersect with sometimes amusing, sometimes alarming results.
  
  Don`t be deceived: this is not a play for children! This is a wicked and wonderful cautionary fairy tale for adults that will delight you and haunt you. It is all about what it is to be human, to long for something other, to wish for something more than what you have, to deal with the inevitable loss and the terrible beauty that this journey through the world offers us.
  
  It has all the allure of the fairy tale, the mystery, the whimsy. And it tells of love, loss, desire, hope? and revenge? With its roots deeply planted in old folk tales, it offers a rich harvest of ideas. It also has a dazzling score with ravishing melody and seductive rhythms. It also boasts one of the cleverest, most complex set of lyrics ever written for musical theatre.
  
  This is Sondheim at his very best. And a very rare opportunity to revel in his wisdom and originality.
  
  Productions of this kind only appear once in a blue moon!
  
  "This truly dazzling production of Stephen Sondheim`s wise, warm, wacky and witty Into the Woods is a triumph!"
  -Billy Suter, The Mercury
  
  
  Let us go into the woods? where witches can be right, giants can be good. You decide what`s right. You decide what`s good?
