What happens when a scripted actor meets an improviser who has never seen the script?

The Half Written Show is a first-of-its-kind theatrical format in South Africa, presented by ImproGuise, S.A.’s premier improv troupe since 1993. Five scenes. Five published plays. Five accomplished Cape Town actors who know every line, paired with five ImproGuise improvisers who know nothing at all.

Same stage. Same scene. One script between them.

The result is live theatre at its most unpredictable: hilarious, tense, surprising and completely off the wall. Each scene happens once and once only. You will never see this again.

Actors featured are:

Pierre Malherbe

Alicia Wallace

Toni Morkel

Jason Ralph

Azande Dube
