Review: OTHELLO at the Baxter Theatre Centre Is a Relevant Retelling of the Classic Tragedy
by Jaime Uranovsky - April 13, 2024
Shakespeare’s OTHELLO, written in the early 1600s, predates traditional notions of decoloniality and, arguably, colonialism itself. Nonetheless, it is a text that, some contend, contains a built-in decolonial perspective or, at the very least, lends itself to be staged through this lens.

by Jaime Uranovsky - March 24, 2024

Review: THE GOOD DAD/ DIE GOEIE PA Is Riveting, Raw and Redemptive
by Jaime Uranovsky - March 12, 2024
I knew going into THE GOOD DAD that this production was not going to make for easy watching. And it doesn’t. The subject matter is rough and audience members should know that sexual abuse and rape are prominent topics in this piece of theatre. That being said, the piece is superb and should not be missed.
