\u201cWe decided that this year, come hell or high water or Covid-19, we need to do this play,\u201d said Swart.
\u201cEven when we had to postpone the Cape Town run to February, we decided to push through and to rehearse this production. The theatre has an energy that nobody understands. Suddenly, we had something to live for. Actors, technicians, theatre staff, publicists, barmen, ushers. I am very proud to say this production is really a forerunner in getting theatre back on track.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eight men confront their lives, loves and friendships over the three successive holiday weekends at a farmhouse in Duchess County, New York. Winner of the 1995 Tony Award for Best Play. Love! Valour! Compassion! explores the lives, loves and fears of eight gay men in the 1990s.<\/p>\n
\nThroughout the summer, the men\u2019s conversations touch on themes of infidelity, flirting, Aids, skinny-dipping, and questions about life and death.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
It\u2019s a comedy about some comparatively privileged gay people in a world whose problems are ultimately shared by everyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have always said Love! Valour! Compassion! may use eight gay men as its vehicle for the story, but it is a play with a message that truly transcends sexual orientation boundaries,\u201d said Pettigrew.
\u201cIt is a play that every human being will take a message from and relate to. I am proud to be heading the production that will carry the blazing torch of hope for the South African entertainment industry to get back to work after going through our own doldrums for so many months.\u201d<\/p>\nLove! Valour! Compassion! is presented with the support of Ambassador Execudrive, Britz Couriers and Removals, Crown National, Hollywood Costumes, Lift, RSG, Rockets Man, Sounds Good, Van Loveren Wines and WS Pianos.<\/p>\n
