Latest South Africa Reviews
by Judith Herbig - February 28, 2026
A powerful, intense solo performance by Alan Committie that drags The Iliad out of history and into the present. Raging emotion, stark visuals, a gripping soundscape and visceral physicality combine to expose the brutal, repetitive nature of war and humanity’s destructive ego....
by Judith Herbig - February 26, 2026
A lively, fast-paced and very funny romp through Shakespeare. Three equally talented performers, slick backstage work and simple staging keep the focus on the action. Affectionate, farcical and thoroughly entertaining....

Sumptuous design, assured dancing and clear storytelling combine to create a Nutcracker that is both elegant and utterly engrossing....

Watching AND THE GIRLS IN THEIR SUNDAY DRESSES at the Baxter, I was reminded in many ways of WAITING FOR GODOT. However, this production - written by the incredible Zakes Mda - is so much more, in my opinion....

A sharp, silly and fearless comedy ride where smart political satire meets mischievous puppets and riotous audience interaction....

A riveting two-hander, The Opera Singer peels back the diva’s glamour to reveal vulnerability and truth. Fiona Ramsay is magnetic, Owain Rhys Davies compelling. Sharp writing, elegant design, superb pacing....
by Michelle B Lewis - January 21, 2026
Listening to Walls Wear Off Their Colour is an intimate, thought-provoking experience that demands more than passive observation. From the moment the performance begins, the audience is called to be still, to sit back and listen, allowing the narrator’s voice to guide reflection....

Colleen the Musical arrives with a flourish of sass, sparkle and unmistakeable Cape Town flavour. It is a joyous return that few could have predicted yet many will celebrate....
