The National Cultural Centre will once again come alive on July 22 as the theatrical spectacular, “Nothing to Laugh About” is held from July 22-25. This will be the 9th edition of the play which has lived up to its name over the years.
Last year, the production rocked the NCC with four sold out shows forcing the franchise to facilitate two held-over shows.
As always, this year the show will straddle all the divides; be it politics, race or religion. Some of the skits are
satirical in nature and do not spare caricaturing anyone, there is no vindictiveness but just humour.
As the cast prepares for the big day, a team of scriptwriters, including Lyndon Jones, Maria Benschop, Sonia Yarde, Leza Singh, Michael Ignatius and Clemencio Godette, as well as Mark Kazim, Rochelle Christie, Clinton Duncan, Odessa Primus and Kwasi Edmondson are working around the clock to get the final product out for the public.
This year’s cast include Lyndon “Jumbie” Jones, Michael Ignatius, Kirwyn Mars, Chris Gopaul, Clemencio Goddette, Leza “Radika” Singh, Mark “Chiney man” Kazim, Leslyn Bobb-semple, Gerard Gilkes, Simone Persaud, Alana Craigen, Leon Cummings, Johann David, Mark Luke Edwards and Brian Goodman. The Stage Manager is Sonia Yarde.
Patrons are advised to be on time as the show will begin at 20:00h sharp. Tickets will cost $1000, $1500 and $2000 and are available at the box office. Dress code will be in effect.
