Curl Up and Dye on stage

Curl Up & Dye is a satirical play focusing on South Africans’ stresses, strains and sensitivities during the last few years of apartheid. The year 1989 was a tumultuous time of violence, danger and uncertainty that affected everyone. Great change was on the horizon; and it wasn’t always comfortable.

Curl Up & Dye is a satirical play focusing on South Africans’ stresses, strains and sensitivities during the last few years of apartheid. The year 1989 was a tumultuous time of violence, danger and uncertainty that affected everyone. Great change was on the horizon; and it wasn’t always comfortable.

Like all tough times though, the potential for humour is ever-present and <>Curl Up & Dye<> brings this beautifully to life!

Set in Hillbrow, the play chronicles the life of Rolene, the main hairdresser in the salon who is struggling with white fear and an abusive husband.

Other prominent characters are Mrs Dubois, a long-standing patron of the salon; Miriam the cleaner who is underpaid and forced to do humiliating advertising campaigns; Charmaine the drug-addicted prostitute who uses the salon to run away from her destructive life; and Dudu, the well-to-do nurse who gets caught up in the political issues present in the salon.

The characters feel so familiar that it's almost as if you are watching your neighbour, hairdresser or just a friend.

Written by Sue Pam–Grant and directed by Rhodes graduate Cassandra Hendricks, <>Curl Up & Dye<> is a play worth watching.

It’s intense, funny, relevant to every South African and is being showcased at the Rhodes Main Theatre from 8-11 May at 7pm. Tickets are available at the Rhodes Theatre Café.
