Johannesburg! The Agents are in town! Meet Venter, Linda (she’s new here) and the ever-effervescent Brenda in an outrageous satirical comedy that tears apart the absurdities of the real estate industry. Robaby Productions presents a trio of mischievous performers who delve into the cut-throat world of property development, gentrification and fancy estate living. No one is safe from their hilariously sharp critiques - from slick real estate agents to clueless home buyers to neighbourhood watch groups (you know the ones). With a massive dose of irreverence and a keen eye for the ridiculous, this show is a must-see for anyone who loves a spicy, laugh-out-loud cringefest.
Created and performed by Lisa Derryn Overy, Kyla Davis and Roberto Pombo and directed by Toni Morkel.
Praise for The Agents at the National Arts Festival 2023:
“Under the direction of Toni Morkel, (the performers) are a joy to watch. The trio moves as a three-headed beast…they deliver the razor-sharp script with ease, and routinely whip themselves and their unsuspecting clients into a frenzy. The Agents is easily one of the gems of this year’s Festival. Go and see it!”- David Mann, Cue Online
“The Agents is among the very best of 49 years or so of amazing Fringe work. The audience stood as one to give the show a standing ovation… I have not laughed so hard for a long time, not so much triggered as fired from the canon.” - Mike Loewe, The Critter
“...fabulously fierce and funny! Morkel, Davis, Pombo and Derryn Overy have created something quite extraordinary in The Agents” - Yvette Hardie
“Every year there is a standout fringe show, and this was it.” - Steve Kretzmann
