Review: TROUBLE IN MIND at the Flipside Provides Hilarious and Tragic Social Commentary
by Jaime Uranovsky - May 28, 2024
I’ve always loved seeing plays at the Flipside at the Baxter.

These feelings became even more heightened during TROUBLE IN MIND.

Review: I GOT RHYTHM from choreographer David Nixon CBE
by Faeron Wheeler - May 21, 2024
I GOT RHYTHM kicks off the season that marks 90 years of Cape Town City Ballet. And that is something that we should be truly proud of here in the cape. I was curious to see that CTCB went with something non-traditional for the start of this big season. I GOT RHYTHM celebrates the music of George Gershwin.

Review: AMADEUS at Theatre On The Bay
by Faeron Wheeler - April 28, 2024
AMADEUS by Peter Shaffer is widely regarded as an absolute classic play from the 20th century. The words flow off the page with a rise and fall that can mimic great music - exactly what is needed to tell the story of the rivalry between Mozart and Salieri. What I loved most about this offering from Theatre on the Bay is the styling and how that pushed the musicality of the piece even more.

Review: ROUND OF APPLAUSE – SOUTH AFRICA STILL STANDING at the Baxter Theatre Centre Should Be Required Viewing for All South Africans
by Jaime Uranovsky - April 25, 2024
Just because you saw ROUND OF APPLAUSE in 2023 does not mean that you’re exempted from seeing Round 2.0. On the contrary, the follow-up to Marianne Thamm’s performative journalism is an absolute must – especially for those who attended last year’s show. It’s one of those rare occasions when the sequel is somehow even better than the original.
