THEATRE REVIEW: ONE ARM:
I’ll never forget my introduction to the wonderful words and works of Tennessee Williams. It was in the early 90s and it happened late
REVIEW: QUEEN AT THE BALLET:

Queen at the Ballet at the Joburg Theatre.

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: 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.
REVIEW: PTERODACTYLS:

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.
