COWARD & COLE : JOHNSON & PEROLD.  Two of the most popular composers performed by two of the best piano men around.    Four hands, two pianos, one evening of frightfully good entertainment!

Eagerly awaited is the new cabaret “Coward & Cole” to be seen at Kalk Bay Theatre in March 2012.    Featuring the talented fingers and voices of Godfrey Johnson and Roland Perold, this new two piano collection of timeless masterpieces highlights the best of an era; filled with witticisms, social commentary and clever word play.

Contemporaries from across the Atlantic, Noël Coward and Cole Porter were masters of their craft when it came to hitting a nerve with just the right amount of sarcasm and irony. See classics like “Mrs Worthington”, “Mad Dogs and Englishmen”, “Let’s Do It” and “Love for Sale” reinterpreted and showcased in a way that delights stalwart fans as well as a new generation of followers.

ROLSKA Productions, producers of the smash hit musical “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” and also the award winning song cycle “Edges” is proud to present Godfrey Johnson, who has performed over 20 one man shows nationally and internationally, and the handsome Roland Perold, exciting new triple threat, in this never before seen combination. Coward & Cole runs for 65min without an interval, bookings at www.kbt.co.za

NOEL COWARD – “I believe that life is for living, don’t you? . . . It’s difficult to know what else one could do with it!”.

Of COWARD – “There are probably greater painters than Noël, greater novelists than Noël, greater librettists, greater composers of music, greater singers, greater dancers, greater comedians, greater tragedians, greater stage producers, greater film directors, greater cabaret artists, greater TV stars. If there are, they are fourteen different people. Only one man combined all fourteen different labels – The Master.” : Lord Louis Mountbatten

COLE PORTER – When Frank Sinatra first met Cole Porter, he said “Mr. Porter, I greatly admire your talent and your songs ” to which Porter replied, “Well then, why don’t you sing them as I wrote them?”

of COLE – “In a way no other songs of the period quite did, Porter’s created a world. It was a between–the–wars realm of drop–dead chic and careless name–dropping insouciance. And it was a sexy place to be invited.”: Walter Clemons, in Vanity Fair.
