Review: JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT at Theatre on the Bay Is a Musical Extravaganza
by Jaime Uranovsky - May 27, 2025
Everyone and his mother has seen JOSEPH – it’s an Andrew Lloyd Webber classic. I myself, have seen the show live five times – including school, community theatre, and professional productions (Never mind the Donny Osmond version that we hired on VHS when I was a little girl and which the show’s composer graciously made available to stream for free in 2020, when we were all bored out of our minds while COVID raged outside). Why then, after so much JOSEPH do you need to see this production?

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.
