Pale Natives.

Pale Natives made its debut at The Market Theatre on January 25, 1994 four months before the first democratic elections. After a highly successful season, the play went on to the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town for a sold out run, before ending off at the Witbank Civic Centre.  

Bill Flynn played Eddie, Tim Plewman was Ashley; Danny Keogh played Kyle, the part of Roux was played by Paul Slabolepszy and Bobby Heaney (who also directed) played the paralytically drunk groom-to-be Dave.

April, 1994. A Stag Party from Hell.

On the eve of Dave’s impending third marriage, five schoolboy friends reunitein a seedy sports club hall in the south-east of Johannesburg. It is over two decades since their band Pale Nativeslast rocked their way around Troyeville and the Southern Suburbs of Joburg. With the dawn of democracy looming and nerves at breaking point, these lost white males revisit the past and reflect on the new South Africa that is their uncertain future.The play becomes a soundtrack, a darkly comic requiem for white, apartheid privileged, society. At a time when no one knew if the country was on the brink of a civil war or not, the atmosphere was volatile to say the least.
