PERFORMANCE BROTHERS IN
ARMS
i y. i. ~‘

Gary Carter and Neil McCarthy have been friends since student days in Cape Town in the mid-80$. They went on to be part of one of South Africa’s most alternative radical theatre companies, then their lives went different ways. McCarthy became a playwright and director in Johannesburg, while Carter made a life for himself in London as an actor, literary agent,
performance artist and TV producer.
Last year, both men worked together behind the scenes on Big Brother. Carter was in charge of selling the Big Brother franchise worldwide and McCarthy was the content editor of the South African version of the show. ‘Big Brother combines popular entertainment, like a game show, with real life drama. South Africa is such a young society and the programme was like a litmus test of how a youthful generation could live together without reverting to racial bigotry,’ says McCarthy as he tries to convince me of the
reality TV show’s merits.
Odd then that the two friends have gone from the global mega hit of Big Brother to premiering their double bill of intimate theatrical monologues Wildebeest Lounge at Glasgay. ‘Theatre is my first love. I’m really excited to be performing in my first one-man show. Gary and I wrote the monologues separately on other sides of the world, and then brought them together as companion pieces. I wrote the first half - a whodunnit about a murder in a garden which is performed by Gary. In the second half, which Gary wrote, I play the gay son obsessed by his mother’s jewellery box in 50s Africa,’ explains McCarthy. (John Binnie)
