The Drama Factory Hosts WORKSHOP - THE TEEN ACTORS FOUNDRY
by BWW News Desk - June 19, 2019
This is a unique opportunity, as it is not a run-of-the-mill workshop where students play Drama games; we use professional techniques to teach teenagers how to fulfil demanding roles on set, such as breaking down at the loss of one's parents or being abducted by strangers etc. Students will apply the techniques they learn to perform a scene with a scene partner, which will be filmed on the last day, giving them a set-like experience. If they choose, they can also use the footage for their showreels.

by BWW News Desk - June 19, 2019
It has been quite some time since there has been a production of a contemporary Italian play in South Africa. University drama courses still occasionally stage the odd Luigi Pirandello drama but apart from the Neapolitan family sagas by Eduardo di Fillipo, we're out of touch with the vibrant theatre scene of Italy, particularly Rome.

TWO TO TANGO - PREVIEW Comes to The Drama Factory
by BWW News Desk - June 17, 2019
Paul Du Toit & Sue Diepeveen play Andrew Starke and Lisa Boyle who have been married for twenty-one years, and it shows. Apart from coping with the daily stresses of raising two teenage daughters, looming mid-life crises and economic stresses, they continue to be confounded in their quest for the ultimate South African accessory....a black friend. Two To Tango is a comedy drama about a superficially liberal white couple negotiating post-apartheid challenges. Should they have jumped on the gravy train after all? Is it easier to broker a BEE deal than date night?

In addition, his work has been presented all over Europe and enthusiastically received, and the first productions of his plays in English are scheduled for both the U.K. and the United States.
