Tambo Sports Centre in Khayelitsha and the seemingly endless agony of waiting for a better life is quite apparent. At a once-off performance here on a cold Monday evening (August 2), Waiting for Godot, Samuel Beckett’s masterpiece and a watershed play in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Interview with Sir Ian McKellen (published in the Mail &#038; Guardian, August 2010)
Brent Meersman
Sir Ian McKellen is in Cape Town to perform in Samuel Beckett’s watershed tragicomedy, Waiting for Godot, at the Fugard Theatre. As we walk down the atmospherically lit corridor with its exposed brick and warm wooden floors, McKellen is touching the walls, [...]]]></description>

The nation was in raptures after the successful opening of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Sport is not alone in riding high on this optimism. The annual National Arts Festival (NAF) envisioned this global tournament as an opportunity for a bumper year. Giving football fans the benefit [...]]]></description>

Hobson then wrote a panegyric, and Beckett mania [...]]]></description>

Christine Weir and Godfrey Johnson’s Tainted Love is the perfect cabaret show for this tiny, new basement venue on the fringe of Green Point’s alternative ghetto; it feels like an underground club in Berlin during the Weimar Republic. 
With songs such as Masochism Tango (Tom Lehrer), Hanky Panky (Stephen Sondheim), Tainted Love (Marc Almond) and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The master narrative would have us believe that Afrikaans is the evolutionary linguistic product of the Dutch settlers. Certainly, the academic understanding of Afrikaans, the official language taught not only in South Africa but abroad, is the codified (some will also argue nationalist) project of the white Afrikaner.

		<description><![CDATA[Athol Fugard’s latest play, The Train Driver, which had its world première here, is his most intriguing since the advent of democracy. It is not as resolved a work as Exits and Entrances; it suffers the same monologue-heavy, undramatic radio play quality of Booitjie and the Oubaas, but it is braver, less contrived, far more [...]]]></description>
