Review: PLEASE, DON'T CALL ME MOFFIE at Artscape Arena


by Kim R2 - June 04, 2026

The specific context of PLEASE, DON'T CALL ME MOFFIE is unambiguously Cape Town, Coloured and queer, and at the same time unambiguously universal. This is a story you need to see....

Review: COMMISSION CONTINUA at Masambe At The Baxter


by Judith Herbig - June 02, 2026

Commission Continua is a thought-provoking and emotionally powerful production that uses striking theatrical imagery to question whether South Africa's many commissions of inquiry have achieved meaningful justice or simply generated more paperwork.

Review: THE KILLING OF A UNION LEADER at Artscape Arena


by Kim R2 - May 15, 2026

The play runs 80 minutes, a comfortable length of time in which to confront distinctly uncomfortable themes that are uncomfortable because they are universal. This show deserves to be seen and, perhaps more importantly, heard....

Review: RISE '76: THE STORY OF JUNE 16TH at Baxter Studio


by Judith Herbig - May 12, 2026
