The annual Fleur du Cap Theatre Awards presented at the Baxter Theatre last weekend proves that while the awards are national, Cape Town is the central focus of theatre in South Africa.
The main (very, very deserved) winners were Sandra Prinsloo, who won the Best Actress Award in “Die Naaimasjien”, and Jeremy Crutchley, who won the Best Actor and Best Performance Awards for “I am my own wife”, reports the Cape Times. Jonathan Roxmouth won the Best Performance in a Musical Award in “Beauty and the Beast”. Best Set Design and Best Costume Design Awards went to Illka Louw for “The Tempest”.
The Fleur du Cap Awards ceremony was attended by the Western Cape Premier Helen Zille and Cape Town Mayor Dan Plato. Awards were handed out by celebrity guests Soli Philander, David Kramer, Fiona Coyne (“The Weakest Link”) and others.
