by David Fick - November 13, 2012
In SPECIAL THANKS TO GUESTS FROM AFAR, Nicholas Spagnoletti has crafted a play that is both diverting and thought-provoking, one that has been brought to life vividly by director Matthew Wild, but which also narrowly misses being a truly remarkable new South African play.

BWW Reviews: Evocative and Memorable RED at Theatre on the Bay
by David Fick - November 03, 2012
When I heard that RED would run briefly at Theatre on the Bay in Cape Town after a successful premiere at the National Arts Festival three months ago, I made sure that I would be able to see it. And, I am pleased to say, that the wait was worth it.

BWW Reviews: Funny BENCH Fleeces Its Own Intentions at The Kalk Bay Theatre
by David Fick - September 17, 2012
Halfway through the world premiere of Brent Palmer's BENCH, it occurred to me that there were two plays competing for the stage and for the audience's attention. One is a character-driven, comic two-hander. The other is a play about identity and representation.

BWW Reviews: Partly First Class, Partly Frustrating RAYMONDA at the Artscape Opera House
by David Fick - August 26, 2012
16 years since it was last seen on stage in Cape Town, Cape Town City Ballet has brought RAYMONDA back to the Artscape for a short winter season. It is a beautiful production of a ballet that is infamously light on narrative and heavy on dance, which makes for an evening of some first class performances and some frustration when it comes to experiencing the piece as a complex and compelling piece of storytelling.
