Prosound technical director Mark Malherbe won his fourth Naledi Award in March this year. The prolific sound designer received the “best theatre sound design/sound effects’ accolade for his work on Jesus Christ Superstar – an acclaimed musical that ran at the Teatro in Johannesburg last year.
“I always treat these awards as more of team accolades. I have been extremely fortunate to work fairly consistently with the creative team of director Paul Warwick Griffin and musical director Charl-Johan Lingenfelder,’ said Malherbe.
“I also acknowledge the extremely high standard of both cast and musicians in the musical, as well as the expertise of the crew that I worked with.’ The Naledi Theatre Awards recognise and reward excellence in live theatre in Gauteng. Other winners in the technical field this year included Faheem Bardien and Michael Mitchell, who took accolades for best theatre lighting design and best set design– both for Mandela Trilogy.
