Ladies, gentlemen, and others, it is with heavy hearts that we announce that SixtyNine Theatre and Bar Cape Town, formerly known as Gate69, has come to the last leg of her journey on Bree street.

We could go on and on and on about how sad it is, and what a shame it is, but honey, it is what it is. We have had 6 wonderful years in the heart of the Mother City and have loved every single second of it, but that’s all she wrote, folks…  For Now!

Defending the Gay Man is the last show that will ever tread the boards at SixtyNine Theatre in Cape Town. Ever.

Now, we all know that Capetonians are famous for last minute bookings and changes of plans, but now is not the time for that. You literally have one last chance to get a taste of what has made us the toast of the Mother City for over half a decade! The show runs until the 19th of August, and then that’s it.

Done.
Dusted.
Finito.
Finished and klaar!
You’ve been warned.

Auf wiedersehen, Cape Town. We love you!

About the Show:

To the naked eye, it would seem that there are more Homosexuals about than there used to be. Where the hell are they all coming from?

They no longer hide in the shadows, like good gays used to do. Now the brazen brotherhood of butt-buddies walks among us, cool as you like. They have even sashayed, minced and pranced themselves into the mainstream of society, holding down normal jobs, taking public office, getting married and having children! What is the world coming to? Can the flaming offensive be stopped or are we doomed to this nauseatingly fabulous fate? This is war, bitches, and if we (the good, Gaga-fearing general public) have the faintest hope in hell of surviving this camp conflict, we must move… Now! As Sun Tzu said: “To know your enemy, you must become your enemy”. We must walk a mile in another man’s shoes… Which, in this case, are a pair of ruby slippers.

Defending the Gay Man, presented by SixtyNine Theatre in association with Deviant Theatricals, is a Heterosexual’s guide to understanding the modern Homosexual, told through the eyes of four pint-sized poofs and one enormous drag queen, featuring more gay anthems than is strictly necessary and less clothing than is fit for public consumption.

It’s the fastest way to warm the cockles of your heart this winter and the most fun you can have with your winter willy-warmers on!
