If your one who just can't get enough of those dramatic plays and love to have a good laugh then here's your opportunity to have a belly full of laugh.
As the Dramatic Arts Academy will be staging the hilarious family comedy “Love, Sex and the Taxman” from Saturday-Monday at the National Cultural Centre.
The play which is written by William Van Zandt and Jane Milmore, shows of one of the many things people around the world can and will do, to avoid paying their taxes. The ploy conceived to avoid such payment as explored in the play, presents an energy-filled farcical rendezvous with the tax authority. It’s unbelievable the extent some will go to avoid or reduce such mandatory payments.
It centres around two college students, one of whom is duped into the attempt to defraud the tax department. This attempt leads to numerous twists and turns in this hilarious play; twists and turns in their own personal life. It also shows what real friends will do for each other.
A meticulous Taxman, a nosey landlord, an unsuspecting mother, two girlfriends and a shady marriage officer help to intricately weave this ambitious daunting task of cheating the Tax Department.
It is directed by veteran actress Desiree Edghill who plays the mother of one of the college boys. The other members of the cast are, Henry Rodney, Michael Ignatius, Sheldon Braithwaite, Neaz Subhan, Nazim Hussain, Rushella Edmindson and Merica George.
In the play, Jon Trachtman, played by Sheldon Braithwaite, decided that he could cheat the Inland Revenue Department by changing his status to married.
On the forms he made a mistake and put “Male” for his wife’s sex instead of “Female” and the Inland Revenue Department decides to pay him a visit to investigate this.
Jon then asks his roommate Leslie Arthur, played by Michael Ignatius, to become his wife for the benefit of the Tax Man. Jon’s mother, Mrs. Vivian Trachtman, played by Desiree Edghill, upon hearing about the wedding, turns up to find that Leslie is not a Girl as she originally thought.
Her reaction is left to the imagination and according to The tax Man,” I have never seen anyone go to such complicated lengths before!”
The others in the play are: Neaz Subhan as the Tax Man Floyd Spinner; Henry Rodney as the landlord; Rushella Edmondson as Jon’s girlfriend Kate Dennis; Merica George as Connie; and Nazim Hussain as the Justice of Peace Arnold Grunion.
Tickets are on sale at the National Cultural Center and cost $500.00, $700.00 and $1000.00
Hope to see ya'll there folks.
