Pictures of You

The story of a perfect marriage and what happens when one partner decides that they want something more. It is described as visual theatre experimenting with different forms, masks and puppets. fth/conspiracy of clowns combines hearing and deaf actors to create new forms of theatre

It is brilliant! Although not a word is spoken, the actors are eloquent in portraying the different emotions and telling the story of the struggle when one partner in a marriage wants to change. The story is so true about how people change in relationships over time, sometimes losing something of themselves.

This tongue-in-cheek show is inspired by country music legends such as Dolly Parton and John Denver, and with songs about relationships, break-ups and sports icons, Angels on Horseback leave no issue as sacred with their unique and hilarious take on all aspects of South African life. Adult content.

We saw it last year and had a good laugh. I must admit that John Denver's songs now have a whole new set of hysterical lyrics - will never be the same. Great night out.

Carmen

The story is set in Seville, Spain, circa 1830, and concerns the eponymous Carmen, a beautiful Gypsy with a fiery temper. Free with her love, she woos the corporal Don José, an inexperienced soldier. Their relationship leads to his rejection of his former love, mutiny against his superior, and joining a gang of smugglers. His jealousy when she turns from him to the bullfighter Escamillo leads him to murder Carmen.
