The Butcher Brothers, a Dark Laugh Theatre production, is the latest show by Sylvaine Strike, well known as the inimitable, sultry voice of Cell C.
 

She has established herself as an actress, voice-over artist and director since 1994, having enjoyed a diverse career in theatre, television and film.

She is the recipient of the 2006 Standard Bank Young Artist Award for Drama, and was one of the 25 worldwide nominees in line for the prestigious Rolex Mentor Protégé Arts Initiative for 2010.

The show marks Strike’s return to the National Arts Festival after a two year absence and is described in a press release as “a tale of twisted  contradictions, meat and meetings, rump and rambunctious play, laughter and slaughter… ”

The show is conceptualised by assistant director Daniel Buckland, a Grahamstown local, Rhodes alumni and the son of theatre stalwart, Andrew.

An internationally known performer, Buckland can sing and dance on command, play the musical saw, and has extensive experience in mime, acrobatics and martial arts.

The play is set in South Africa in 1950 where a tiny family butchery is run by a prematurely retired ballroom dancer and his ever loyal servant, Boy.

The rigid routine of their lives is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of a slumberous parcel. A deliciously macabre and bloody tale it is, exquisitely performed in mask by Mongi Mthombeni and Jaques de Silva, this one hour epic will delight and intrigue even the most diehard vegetarian.
