The Ugly Noo Noo

In 1988, Andrew Buckland, directed by his wife Janet, created the one-man show The Ugly Noo Noo, which transformed South African theatre. The piece tells of a man’s encounter with the notorious Parktown prawn in Johannesburg’s suburbs. With sharp satire and side-splitting comedy, a powerful performance, and unique stage presence, it takes audiences on a journey through the dark underworld of suburban life and examines the relationship between fear and power. It received 17 national and international awards.
