Review: MR HARE MEETS MR MANDELA and WANDA THE MUSICAL at the Homecoming Centre
by Klara van Rooyen - April 23, 2023
In the world of theatre, the attitude towards children's theatre is not always positive. Sometimes regarded as the lesser-than-stepchild, you'll often hear people say: 'It was good, for a children's production'. To me, children's theatre is vital and important work, and should be treated as such. Our attitude towards children's theatre is reflective of our attitude towards younger audiences, who are our country's most important theatre-attending demographic - especially considering the country's current shape.

Review: JAKOB is beautiful magical realism at The Drama Factory
by Faeron Wheeler - April 20, 2023
At its heart, JAKOB is a simple story. A bit of magical realism that tells the story of a boy who is different, and the way people react to someone who is different. What makes JAKOB remarkable is the way this story is told.

Review: PATISSERIE FEMME's Deliciously Baked Feminism
by Klara van Rooyen - March 28, 2023
The discourse surrounding feminism looks different than it did a few years ago. This is of course natural and unavoidable, but with the recent backlash of the MeToo movement and the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the United States, one wonders where things might be going.
