Steve Solomon's My Mother's Italian My Father's Jewish and I'm in therapy

So, you think your family is crazy…

Oy vey… or should that be mamma mia? Start the Festive season on a side-splitting note with the New York comedy hit My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish, and I’m in Therapy!, at the Studio Theatre at Montecasino -  Commencing 16th November 2011.

Created onstage in the Big Apple by comedian Steve Solomon, this uproariously funny one-man play tells the story of an Italian-Jewish family and the crazy characters that surround it… and drive our hapless hero straight into the therapist’s chair.

This hilarious comedy stars versatile and accomplished local actor Michael Richard, who has  his work cut out for him in a one man tour de force- navigating his way through  a tricky minefield of voices, dialects and sound effects, conjuring an array of wacky family relationships.

Richard has been directed by the multi award-winning Charmaine Weir-Smith, with whom he recently teamed up for two successful seasons of the Sylvaine Strike comedy Pregnant Pause. The top-flight production team is completed by Wilhelm Disbergen , who will undertake the set design, and Jane Gosnell, who is taking care of lighting.

My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish, and I’m in Therapy! won the Broadway.com audience award for favourite new off-Broadway play of 2007, and has earned rave reviews, in New York and in South Africa. 

You don’t need to be Jewish or Italian to appreciate this off-the-wall comedy – you just need to know what it feels like to leave a family dinner with heartburn and a headache…

Described as “one part lasagne, one part kreplach and two parts Prozac”, this play promises to be just the tonic needed to get the year end off to an upbeat start – and tickets are a lot cheaper than a visit to the shrink!
