REVIEW: SNOWMAN
UJ’s THATSOGAY theatre festival in Joburg kicked off with the international work, Snowman, by Canadian playwright, Greg MacArthur – a very unusual and meaty offering, writes Moira de Swardt.
REVIEW: THE QUIET VIOLENCE OF DREAMS
The Quiet Violence of Dreams is not a pretty story, writes Moira de Swardt. It’s about Tshepo, who does drugs, spends time in a mental institution and becomes a rent boy in a gay massage parlour.
MAMMA MIA! REVIEW
The ABBA inspired musical, Mamma Mia!, is back on the Joburg stage. But if you’ve already watched the movie, is it worth shelling out your hard-earned cash to see it?
REVIEW: MARC LOTTERING – NOT IN 3D
Funny man Marc Lottering’s latest show, Not in 3D, is now on at Cape Town’s new On Broadway dinner theatre on Long Street.
REVIEW: DOO BEE BOOBIES
If popular gay thought is to be believed, in South Africa in 2010 there’s no need for gay pride events, going to gay bars or even watching drag shows….
REVIEW: THE TIMEKEEPERS
For a play set in one room and with only two main characters, The Timekeepers has an impressive sense of momentum and breadth.

Nataniël’s latest stage show at Emperor’s Palace, Coronation, certainly entertains; but is the enigmatic performer stuck in a creative rut?
REVIEW: MILE HIGH, THE JUMBO PACKAGE
Cathy Specific returns to regale us with tales and songs chronicling her life as a high-flying trolley-dollie in bigger budget version of her original show.
REVIEW: WHERE THE BOYS ARE
It’s been quite a while since I last truly enjoyed an evening at Cape Town’s On Broadway. Some of the shows staged there, during the past few months, have left a lot to be desired.
