Theatre on the Square is proud to present the acclaimed ELVIS DU PISANIE, written and directed by PAUL SLABOLEPSZY, starring the magnificent ASHLEY DOWDS. The story moves from pure nostalgia, through extreme heartache, to unbridled joy…The Return of Elvis du Pisanie is all at once – sad, amusing and gloriously uplifting…
Eddie du Pisanie, a forty-nine year old East Rand salesman, is retrenched and decides life is no longer worth living. Desperate and alone in his car, he switches on the radio. The Elvis Presley song he hears does more than take him back 30 years – it recalls an event in his childhood that changed his life forever. Can we change our own destinies? “Elvis” du Pisanie is about to find out!
“If you are looking for a night of raw emotion, side-splitting humour and a healthy dose of nostalgia, then ‘The Return of Elvis du Pisanie’ is a must see!” GEORGE KNOKE”

THE OPERA SINGER
2026-03-28 20:00 - 21:30
BOOK ONLINE HERE
This is not just a performance — it’s an experience you will carry with you long after the lights go down.
Theatre on the Square is thrilled to welcome back the extraordinary Fiona Ramsay and Janna Ramos-Violante in a production that has audiences leaning in, holding their breath, and leaving changed.
Fiona Ramsay delivers a mesmerising, no-holds-barred performance alongside the honey-voiced Owain Rhys-Davies, in a work that is intimate, immersive and deceptively cinematic. The line between theatre and film blurs as you are drawn deep into the inner world of a creative soul — a life driven by obsession, discipline and the relentless pursuit of perfection.
This is a rare, unflinching look at what it truly costs to devote yourself to art. The beauty. The sacrifice. The damage. The moments no one warns you about.
Written and directed by Janna Ramos-Violante, this is bold, raw storytelling at its finest — the kind of production people talk about afterwards, urge their friends to see, and wish they could experience again for the first time.
