Review: WRONG FACES and TOMMY AND DOMINICK at the Masque Theatre's One-Act Play Festival Showcase Local Playwrights


by Jaime Uranovsky - March 24, 2024

During my adolescence, the annual one-act play festival held at my high school was the highlight of my academic year. So, whenever I hear that a one-play festival is being staged, I am filled with excitement and nostalgia. For the first time, the Masque Theatre has introduced what will become its an...

Review: THE GOOD DAD/ DIE GOEIE PA Is Riveting, Raw and Redemptive


by Jaime Uranovsky - March 12, 2024

I knew going into THE GOOD DAD that this production was not going to make for easy watching. And it doesn’t. The subject matter is rough and audience members should know that sexual abuse and rape are prominent topics in this piece of theatre. That being said, the piece is superb and should not be m...

Review: SUOR ANGELICA and GIANNI SCHICCHI at Artscape Celebrates Comedy and Tragedy in Puccini's Operas


by Jaime Uranovsky - February 18, 2024

Cape Town Opera presents a Puccini double-bill of operas: SUOR ANGELICA and GIANNI SCHICCHI. Each opera runs for just under an hour, with an interval in between. The two operas are vastly different – SUOR ANGELICA, despite containing comedic moments, is ultimately tragic....

Review: EXPELLED Explores the Impact of Social Media at the Baxter Golden Arrow Studio


by Faeron Wheeler - February 17, 2024

EXPELLED is a brand-new play from Rosalind Butler, and it deals with just how damaging social media can be for all ages. The characters in the play and the story feel incredibly relatable as many of us spend time questioning how much we live our lives through social media....

Review: LUNGS at Theatre On The Bay is Like a Runaway Train You Want to Be On


by Faeron Wheeler - February 17, 2024

Duncan MacMillan’s play LUNGS has been described as 'off-kilter' and 'brutally honest' - and that's exactly what you get with this production. It races forward at a gallop as the pair on stage move through their relationship. There's an element of a runaway train to the pace, but it's a train I want...

Review: THE GOLD RHINO OF MAPUNGUBWE at Baxter Theatre Is a Fresh, Vibrant, African-infused Ballet


by Jaime Uranovsky - February 13, 2024

It is always gratifying to witness performers staging highly technical artforms, like ballet, and giving them fresh, local twists. THE GOLD RHINO OF MAPUNGUBWE BALLET is such an example. The show tells the story of Van Graan, a white man in the 1930s who embarks on a journey to discover the treasure...

Review: LEGALLY BLONDE at Artscape Is Fun, Frothy and Fierce


by Jaime Uranovsky - February 11, 2024

LEGALLY BLONDE needs little introduction: based on the cult-classic movie of the early 2000s, the story follows blonde bombshell Elle Woods to Harvard Law School as she attempts to win back her ex-boyfriend, Warner Huntington III.  However, Elle’s love story ends up being about so much more than ‘ge...

Review: LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL is a joyful occasion at the Artscape


by Faeron Wheeler - February 07, 2024

LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL is fun, vibrant, energetic and full of heart, and the team should be incredibly proud of the hard work they've put in....

Review: ROMEO AND JULIET comes to life at the Maynardville Open-Air Festival


by Faeron Wheeler - January 30, 2024

Overall, ROMEO AND JULIET is engaging and the director used the setting of Maynardville to create a haunting piece....

Review: DIE FEL OMSTREDE KROON VAN EDWARD II & GAVESTON at the Baxter Flipside Explores the Fine Line between Monarchy and Anarchy


by Jaime Uranovsky - January 19, 2024

At the outset, I beg potential patrons of this production not to avoid this play just because they cannot understand Afrikaans – this would be a grave error. The subtitles are comprehensive and, if you choose seats with a little height, you will have the perfect spot from which to observe the action...
