On Tuesday, October 27th the Art of being Ugly, starring Anthony Stonier and Darren King and directed by Peter Court, that will be hosted at the DHS Seabrooke’s Theatre will be dedicated to Wayne Scott who has been a long time friend and supporter to the cast.
Scott who has been in the entertainment industry for many years and who is also the entertainment & events manager at uShaka Marine World for the last 9 years, has been suffering with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) since 2010.
Funds being raised will enable Scott to obtain medication for treatment prior to the planned bone-marrow stem cell transplant.
About the show – Most actors spend their careers playing a variety of roles from Shakespeare and Ibsen to fools and fops. Anthony and Darren have spent a large part of their working lives being Ugly.
Collectively they have over 30 years’ experience playing a variety of Uglies from Snow White’s evil nemesis to Jack’s hapless mother. But no show epitomises the Ugly like Cinderella.
Meet Lou and Lav as they prepare for yet another performance of Cinderella (Their 364th). Join these two in their dressing room as they joke, tease and cajole each other into one more performance.
Watch two consummate performers entertain you (and themselves) as they transform from luckless actors to wretched stepsisters.
Join in the back stage banter and in-house jokes as Anthony and Darren take you on a hilarious roller-coaster ride from a late arrival backstage at the theatre to their first entrance on stage.
From blank canvas to full Ugly all will be revealed in this 60 minute chaotic romp.
See for the first time ever, what it truly takes to master The Art of Being Ugly!
