Bangkok, a fever dream in neon and sepia, feeds hungry souls (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thailandâs capital is the worldâs most visited city, a place where monks in saffron robes rest in the shade of towering malls, and heritage-inspired meals are served in former family shophouses. Thailand has, for almost a year, been in mourning. Difficult to believe in a country that seems genetically wired to lift your spirits, but itâs been an emotionally turbulent time for the monarchy. The king, Rama X, lost his mother, Queen Sirikit, in October 2025, and then his eldest daughter, Prin
Never mind the manosphere: The Fifth Step depicts genuine male intimacy and brutal vulnerability (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A dark comedy about male despair, addiction, loneliness and the possibility of spiritual awakening in a seemingly godless world is showing at The Baxter in Cape Town until 26 September. According to proponents of the 12-step addiction treatment programme adopted by Alcoholics Anonymous in 1939, God can be whatever âhigher powerâ you choose to believe in. In The Fifth Step, an electric, fast-paced, idea-filled play by Belfast-raised, Glasgow-based playwright David Ireland, God might be a coff
Landmyn: An explosive local drama about family ties that bind yet threaten to erupt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nico Scheepersâ second feature film cuts awfully close to the bone, letting us experience at close quarters the discomfort that arises when weâre forced to confront the remnants of our toxic past. The first thing you hear, and then vaguely see through the frosted glass, is a small dog. Outside the front door, anxiously barking and sniffing, she wants to be let inside. Also in view, littering the passageway of whatever home this is, is the detritus of someoneâs life, useless bits and pieces
Darkroom Contemporaryâs new dance show is an exercise in narrative gymnastics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Opening at the State Theatre in Pretoria this week, Louise Coetzerâs e.ID: A Fugue is as astonishing as it is bewildering. And as much as itâs an enlivening, exhilarating performance, it also feels like an elegy for a disappearing species, our final death knell concocted by a cabal of suited plutocrats. It begins with wild wind, churned up by half a dozen mobile, industrial-strength fans that furiously blast air across the performance space, where the dancers â svelte, taut, athletic, stat
Prima Facie: A play that puts the legal system on trial (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Suzie Millerâs one-woman play about the terrible complicity between a defective legal system and the scourge of sexual violence is both hugely entertaining and deeply affecting. For a play so incredibly wordy, Prima Facie is ultimately not theatre you need to follow intellectually. Instead, it is drama you feel, its message a punch to the gut, its argument so thoroughly down to the simple logic of what it means to be human that the weight of it lands in your heart, fills you with a kind of emo
