Rundown is set to continue to run you down with laughs
The annual Cayman National Cultural Foundation’s (CNCF) Rundown show which has been a fixture on our theatre calendar 1991 is set to continue to run you down with laughs when it opens on 23rd May at The Harquail Theatre.
Henry Mutoo, the director and CNCF chairman, is promising a bag of laughs for the price of the ticket. The dump and the national flag carrier as well as local politicians and characters are all fair game in the review that runs over any sacred cows that get in the way of gags.
Mutoo said audiences can expect the same high quality, hilarious show, touching on some of the ‘issues’ in the Cayman atmosphere. “Rundown is a comedy. What we try to do is find the funny angles to our lives and take them to an almost farcical level,” he said promising a few surprises. “Many people who have seen Rundown over the years often ask, “Is so and so going to be in it this year?” Mutto said as he pointed to this year’s cast of regulars as well as some new faces.
“The usual “Rundown clowns” – Leroy Holness, Rita Estevanovich, Priscilla Pouchie and the relatively new “Rundown jokers” – Matt Brown and Kevin Creary. All of these actors are very talented and many of them are quite experienced so, we are looking forward to giving our audiences a terrific and funny show.”
Muttoo said audiences should also look out for Dexter Bodden, ‘The Calypso Cowboy’, who will make his Rundown debut this year along with Jevaughnie Ebanks, Leslieanne Bernard, Fiona Pimentel, Evana Medina, Patrick Lopez, Maia Muttoo, Carla Court and Ned Miller III.
“As a matter of fact, all kinds of actors are coming out of the woodwork or the bushes this year,” Mutoo added.
