                                                         Richard Loring

Eddie du Pisanie (played by Ashley Dowds) – a 46 year old East Rand salesman – is retrenched and decides life is no longer worth living.  He writes a suicide note to his wife and is about to gas himself in his car in the garage, when he switches on the car radio.  The Elvis Presley song he hears does more than take him back 30 years – it recalls an event in his childhood that changed his life forever.  Abandoning – for the moment – the idea of suicide, he drives the 200 kilometre journey to the town in which he grew up, to a lamp post opposite the ex-Carlton Bioscope in Witbank, there to retrace his life, to try to find out what went wrong, how it went wrong, and – perhaps most importantly – why it went wrong…

Can we change our own destinies…?  “Elvis” du Pisanie is about to find out…

A powerful, thrilling story about passion, jealousy and vengeance!

In the court of the Austrian Emperor Joseph II, Antonio Salieri is the established composer. Enter the greatest musical symphonist of all time: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Salieri has given himself to God so that he might realize his sole ambition; to be a great melodist. Mozart, however, is a foul-mouthed, obnoxious oaf who has that which is beyond Salieri’s envious grasp: Genius.

This is Salieri’s passionate telling of his act of vengeance in response to Mozart.

Peter Schaffer has given us a riveting, intriguing study of the roots of envy and the haphazard nature of genius
