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 to be on.

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.

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

EXPELLED is a brand-new play from writer Rosalind Butler. It was developed as part of The Writers’ Collective - an initiative from How Now Brown Cow that ran through COVID and lockdown. It's now ready to take to the stage in February, and director Craig Freimond talks to us about bringing it to life.

It looks like fans of Michael Jackson in Joburg are in for a real treat this year. Showtime Australia is bringing their international hit tribute concert to SA - MICHAEL JACKSON HISTORY TRIBUTE SHOW! The new lead, stepping into the role of the King of Pop, is South African Garth Field. He chatted to us about taking the stage.

LAMTA is celebrating five years of work with their final student production of the year - SPRING AWAKENING. Co-founder of the school and musical director for the show, Anton Luitingh, spoke to us about this.

I'm always excited to see the LAMTA yearly productions - you get a glimpse into who will be hitting the industry in the not-too-distant future. This year's play was COSI, written by Louis Nowra and directed by Chris Weare.

I'll admit, the title A VEGAN KILLED MY MARRIAGE had me immediately. I also know I love to watch Aaron McIlroy on stage - he is hilarious. I then discovered that writer director Craig Freimond was responsible for some films that I really enjoyed - and I could not wait to see this one at the Baxter. Thankfully, I was not disappointed at all.

Creator of SEX AND THE CITY, Candace Bushnell, is on her way to South Africa with her new one-woman show - TRUE TALES OF SEX, SUCCESS AND SEX AND THE CITY. She took some time to chat to us about the show, about her experiences and about how excited she is to visit our beautiful country.

The word 'delela' means cheeky, rude, disrespectful or out of line - and I couldn't think of a more fitting title for this production and the subject matter. It's a brilliant piece of satire that points the finger and pokes fun at the world of vanity philanthropy.

What did our critic think of SAME TIME, NEXT YEAR at Theatre On The Bay? Sometimes you just need a really good laugh - and that's exactly what SAME TIME, NEXT YEAR delivers. It's a joyous production with excellent comic timing from the two actors and some beautiful nuances layered in by director Christopher Weare.

After a stellar debut season at the Joburg Theatre, TOSCA is coming to the Artscape Opera House this September. This directorial team from Cape Town Opera includes Fiona Du Plooy as Movement Director, and she took some time out to chat to us about her role in the production and the production itself.

SNAPPED is set to return to the stage in September this year. The play was first conceived of and staged under lockdown in 2021. We spoke to director Mark Fleischman about bringing this play back to life.

What did our critic think of THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE at Pam Golding Theatre At The Baxter?

What did our critic think of AUNT ZELDA'S PAINTING at Milnerton Playhouse? AUNT ZELDA'S PAINTING is a one-act romp with aspects of farce and a whole lot of heart. It's presented by Milnerton Players at the Playhouse, and runs until Saturday 5 August.

Here's one for the Whitney Huston fans! We spoke to renowned impersonator and singer, Belinda Davids about her tour of THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL and what it means to her to pay tribute to such an icon.

An enchanting operatic production of CINDERELLA is coming to the Artscape Opera House from 4 to 8 July 2023. Presented by Cape Town Opera (CTO) in association with AM Productions, this is the South African premiere of this brand-new adaptation of Pauline Viardot’s chamber opera CENDRILLON.

No story about abuse is easy to watch or engage with, and writer-director Louis Viljoen doesn't shy away from true depravity of the situation in THE VISIGOTHS. It's a disturbing and chilling dive into how humans can break each other, shatter our psyches into little jagged pieces.

Pieter-Dirk Uys knows just how to tap into our fears and our challenges, and make us laugh at them. SELL-By-DATE does exactly that.

FIREFLY was absolutely delightful, beautiful and charming. I suppose, how could it not be when you put two actors like Sylvaine Strike and Andrew Buckland together on stage?
