Theatre kicks butt

INFECTIOUS: KICK BACK, RELAX AND FINISH OFF YOUR YEAR IN STYLE »» Shakespeare or pantomime, it's on stage this month.

- Hein Kaiser

Nothing compares to theatre. Whether it’s an intense Shakespearian performance of Titus Andronicus through to a Janice Honeyman pantomime, it’s intimate, it’s live and the energy of the cast is always infectious.

Because it’s been a tough year, everyone deserves a night out to unwind and lose themselves in an hour or two of live entertainment. South Africans are lucky, because theatre is alive and kicking with a host of large-scale productions and shows on stage until the end of 2025.

The Joburg Ballet School and Maison De La Dance will present Seasons of Dance on Sunday at the Soweto Theatre, showcasing the talent and growth of young dancers.

Directed by Keke Chele, the programme features students performing alongside professionals, with guest appearances by Joburg Ballet and the Soweto Youth Orchestra.
