BWW Review: FOREVER PLAID an Escape to Harmonic Heaven at Theatre On The Bay
by Lindsay Kruger - November 13, 2019
Transporting you to the 1950s with close-knit harmonies and pitch perfect renditions, FOREVER PLAID is a gentle jukebox musical perfect for some doo-wop nostalgia. Consisting of four members and giving off The Four Seasons feelings in some respects, this production has a loose storyline and is more focused on showing off the vocal and stage talents of the quartet; of which there is plenty.

by Faeron Wheeler - October 23, 2019
On Monday 7 October, audiences were treated to the opening of the Fugard's Bioscope World Arts Cinema Season for 2020.
