The Crow (2024) is really good at reminding you how good The Crow (1994) is by comparison

BOOK NOW! @BaxterTheatre "Neighbourhood" by Tiisetso Mashifane wa Noni.
Set in contemporary South Africa, the play follows the relationship between two fictional neighbourhoods, Lindela, an informal settlement that sees many of its community members travel to and from Everwood, an upper middle-class suburb, for better work and education opportunities. After multiple cries for affordable housing within the neighbourhood they seek their livelihoods from, the Lindela community members take matters into their own hands and move into Everwood, to become neighbours to those they serve.

"You have a horror movie called 'Alien'?! That is... that is VERY offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you!"

President @CyrilRamaphosa delivers the keynote address ahead of the signing into law the National Council on Gender-Based Violence & Femicide Bill, and the National Prosecuting Authority Amendment Bill at the Union Buildings in Pretoria.
The Gender-Based Violence and Femicide Bill establishes a multi-sectoral approach to combat GBVF in South Africa, while the NPA Bill amends the 1998 Act to create an Investigating Directorate against Corruption, focusing on serious, high-profile, and complex crimes.

"Existential theatre did not end with Sartre's IN CAMERA: its tradition lives on in this highly intelligent, 21st century exploration of humanity."
