Following on from a four-star run at Camden Fringe 2024 and Voila! Theatre Festival 2024 in London, THAT BOY HAS NO SHOES comes to Cape Town. This ‘moving retrospective’ about early Apartheid is a unique encounter with four South African artefacts who appear onstage to tell the audience about their experiences from 1940 to 1976. An axe, an eviction notice, a passbook, and a camera will share what they witnessed, telling stories of who they saw, what they did and where they were left behind. Combining verbatim text with storytelling, the result is 'compelling' and 'powerful'. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Queen is Mad is a musical tragedy inspired by the true story of “Joanna la Loca.” The elder sister of Catherine of Aragon, Joanna came to inherit the throne of Castile in 1504 – but her father and husband conspired to usurp her power by claiming she was mad and locking her away. Against the brutality and fanaticism of 16th century Spain, the show charts Joanna's quest for freedom and control of her own life. With shades of Passion and Wicked, this chamber musical fuses a contemporary classical score with a tale of power, betrayal and rage.
