Review: FEEDBACK at the Baxter Studio Is a Physical Theatre Feast
by Jaime Uranovsky - August 28, 2025
As a starter (pun intended), FEEDBACK is one the most bizarre shows I’ve ever seen – it starts with two detectives being violently attacked by foodstuffs, and that’s just the beginning. I loved every second.

Review: THE GLASS MENAGERIE at the Baxter Theatre Centre Is Haunting, Fantastical and Poignant
by Jaime Uranovsky - August 11, 2025
For me, THE GLASS MENAGERIE, widely known to be Tennessee Williams’ most autobiographical work, epitomises what so many of Williams’ plays do: that hope springs eternal even in the direst of circumstances. We wish and we yearn for the fantasies of each of the characters to come true, even when we already know how the story ends.

Review: UNRULY at the Baxter Studio Is Theatre in its Purest Form
by Jaime Uranovsky - July 24, 2025
Cape Town is blessed with a rich array of theatre, much of which provokes thought, evokes deep feelings and holds a mirror up to society. Very rarely, however, a piece of theatre transcends even that – it is a spiritual experience of sorts. You feel changed by it. This is how I feel about UNRULY – it is more than a piece of theatre to me. It is an experience that I will forever hold dear and one which, to me, is theatre in its purest form.
