"'KUGEL!" is a very funny solo comedy about migrating from South Africa to Australia; performed in English, Afrikaans and Yiddish.“KUGEL!", which was first produced in 2008, with performances in Perth and Sydney, bitingly observes marriage, motherhood, migration and matchmakers, while extolling the benefits of extreme makeovers, ageing disgracefully, testosterone tune-ups, cosmetic tourism and retail therapy --- in fact, “KUGEL!” advises on everything else from keeping kosher to kosher sex! FREELANCE SCRIPTWRITER / COPYWRITERThe salient point about conceptualising, creating and writing copy for the past 30 years is that I’ve had extensive experience across a broad spectrum of media.Whether creating print, TV, radio and on-line campaigns for clients, or editing proofs, writing press releases, organising motivation seminars, marketing and fundraising for corporate events, or acting and performing in my own full-length theatrical shows, I have a unique reservoir of knowledge and skills. When it comes to understanding advertising messages and purchasing decisions, I’m fortunate to be in the key 50-plus segment that outspends all other age groups in categories like financial services, cars, leisure entertainment, household items and luxury goods.My words can cajole, convince, command, commend, compel and coerce.In other words, I am never at a loss for words.So if you want me to put words in your mouth, email me now... what have you got to lose?
