Kalla is a “sales lady” who recently moved from Johannesburg to start her new business in Hopetown. Her plan is to invite the other ladies from the town to a tea party and then, in a very subtle manner, tell them about her new business venture! Kalla’s domestic worker Victoria, is armed with a sharp perception and ready to help, but unfortunately her big mouth often leads to bigger dilemmas. This is just the right recipe for a out of the ordinary girls night: Just pour a stiff drink and mix with spiked punch, whip in cork heels, curlers, Kurt Darren hits, tipsy tart, a secretive briefcase, a stiff bun, odd visitor and straps of seduction, lastly present this with unravelling secrets, chilly sarcasm, red hot arguments and a good dose of, laugh-till-you-drop- cake-and-tea-comedy!
Victoria’s secret is a brand new comedy for women presented by the third year UV Drama Department students and written by Ilne Fourie (Impi and Impi 2- Wat ‘n fees!). Dr. Pieter Venter (Dis ek Anna, Impi, Impi 2 – wat ‘n fees!) directs the play and once again this sound partnership promises to have you rolling in your seat with laughter. The production is performed in the Scaena, so please drop in, because for serious matters we only belief in PUNCH for LUNCH! A must see for young and old!
