Review: HAMLET at the Masque Theatre Is Innovative, Relevant and Compelling
by Jaime Uranovsky - May 13, 2025
I am continuously mesmerised by theatre-makers’ abilities to deliver fresh and novel adaptations of Shakespeare plays. This feminist, gender-swapping retelling of HAMLET is such an adaptation. It is sublime – one of the best shows I have ever seen at the Masque Theatre.

Review: A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART 2 starring Bianca Amato and Zane Meas is brilliant
by Faeron Wheeler - May 01, 2025
That's right, there's a part 2! And it is excellent. Written by American playwright and author Lucas Hnath and debuting in 2017, A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART 2 is quite literally the story of what happens after the end of Henrik Ibsen's classic. I want to say a big thank you to The Quickening Theatre Company for bringing this production to South Africa because I thoroughly enjoyed it.
