Dark Comedies And Dramas Lead Cape Town's Theatre Offerings

'earthside'

This one-woman dark comedy is written and performed by Candice Bernstein.

Directed by the award-winning Jennifer Steyn, it comically explores the overlap between new motherhood and personal loss

I wrote 'earthside' when I found myself experiencing the joy of first-time parenthood alongside the grief of losing my beloved grandfather, Bernstein said in an interview with 'Independent Media Lifestyle'.

I think its something many people will relate to the sandwich years of caring for both young and old family. I use humour and dark comedy to navigate this journey.
