A second viewing of a devastating play changes everything and nothing. Knowing exactly where three childhood friends are headed only sharpens the ache of watching them get there, while two new performances offer fresh ways into old wounds. A haunting return season that loses none of its power the second time around.

A one-woman show built from light, shadow and rhyme, Once Upon a Teacup follows a young girl's journey from the boundless imagination of childhood into the harder realities of growing up. Whimsical, patient and unexpectedly brave, it's a small production that leaves a lasting impression.

A Crown Court judge who can command any courtroom finds herself powerless in her own home when an unthinkable event threatens to unravel everything she's built. This breathless production, anchored by a towering central performance, barely lets you catch your breath, and that's exactly why it works.

A journalist meant to be reporting on war finds himself living inside it, pulled into the lives of ordinary people caught in conflicts across Palestine and Israel, Ukraine and Russia, and Rwanda. This solo show refuses to let global tragedy stay abstract, insisting instead on names, families and single unbearable moments. Difficult, essential viewing for a world that feels increasingly on edge.

Two strangers. One long night. A secret neither of them saw coming. What starts as small talk slowly becomes something much harder to walk away from. This is a play that asks what we're willing to do, and give up, for the people we love.

Constellations is, on its face, a love story told across parallel universes. But this remarkable play has something harder and more important to say about choice, agency, and who gets to decide how a life ends.

At 91, Albie Sachs remains one of the most quietly extraordinary figures in South Africa's history: a man who survived a car bomb, helped write the Constitution, and chose grace over revenge at every turn. This new one-person play captures his remarkable life with warmth, lyricism, and a central performance of rare emotional honesty.

Paul Slabolepszy's beloved classic returns to the Joburg stage in a production that is funny, heartbreaking, and ultimately, deeply uplifting. Ashley Dowds builds an entire world from nothing but a street lamp and his own extraordinary skill, drawing audiences into one of the most distinctly South African stories ever written for the theatre.

What does it cost a person to be truly extraordinary? The Opera Singer explores that question with sharp wit, genuine warmth, and a fearlessness that is rare in new South African writing.

Nobody Told Me brings the Warsaw Ghetto to life through inventive stagecraft, committed performances, and a large ensemble that moves with purposeful energy across the stage. It's powerful, immersive theatre that reminds us why bearing witness to history matters, particularly in our current moment when the lessons of the past feel urgently relevant.

This haunting play about three childhood friends torn apart by the Bosnian War refuses to look away from war's darkest truths. In an intimate setting lit by trembling torchlight, it asks uncomfortable questions about witness, complicity, and what happens when ideology transforms ordinary people into monsters. Brave, necessary, and devastatingly relevant.

The Dumb Waiter creates seventy minutes of masterful tension that feels both deceptively simple and profoundly unsettling. It’s a contemporary meditation on power and obedience, with compelling performances that make the rising dread palpable.

My review of Paul Slabolepszy’s latest masterpiece: Bitter Winter, a tender embrace of South African theatre and the people who live and breathe the art itself.

A name contains so much of our identity. When we ignore that, we ignore someone’s humanity. This show explores that through the lens of the rape crisis in South Africa.
