BLONDE POISON

Multi-award-winning actress, Fiona plays Stella Goldschlag, living illegally in war-torn Berlin and becoming embroiled in a murky world of treachery. It is a genius solo performance of a complex character – charismatic, charming and dangerous.

Set against the backdrop of the Holocaust, this play encouragesus to confront our humanity, and the choices we make when threatened, posing the question, “What would I have done in her place?”
Although a dark subject, the candour of the character, wry observations of her horrific situation, peppered with resilience and humour in the face of certain death, make this a memorable and must-see production.
Theatre critics in both the UK and South Africa have hailed Blonde Poison as compelling theatre. Opinions include: ‘…. one of the most profound and thought-provoking slices of theatre ...’ and ‘... is one of those pieces which stays with one long after one leaves the theatre.’ Another wrote that she ‘... was left
speechless, marvelling over Ramsay’s tour de force performance in this sublime piece of theatre.’

Fiona is one of South Africa’s leading actresses working locally and internationally. Her award-winning professional career spanning over 40 years has successfully bridged film, television and theatre.

Written by Gail Louw, directed by Fred Abrahamse and designed by Marcel Meyer.
