Sound design by James Webb (2008 ABSA L'atelier prize)
Starring Liezl de Kock and Dorian Burstein

A stellar team of collaborators. A sleeper hit at the National Arts Festival 2008. Sold out at Out the Box Festival. Critics raved at Suidoosterfees. Commercial and critical smash hit Baxter season 2009. Further acclaim at The Joburg Theatre. The highest grossing theatre production on the 2009 NAF Fringe. A runaway success at the Witness Hilton Arts Festival.

And now, Pictures of You returns with its theatrical gem to the Baxter.

At first sight, Frank and Janet's marriage is the picture of perfection - neat, ordered, and respectable. But underneath lies a deeper truth - one of buried secrets and repressed desires that begin leaking out when Frank starts to dream.

The critics rave:
