		<description><![CDATA[Noah of Cape Town is one of the most original works you are likely to see. In South Africa’s first solely a cappella musical, Graham Weir’s inspired compositions and beautiful lyrics are given magnificent expression by Amanda Tiffin’s arrangements for 16 voices.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Merchant of Venice is an anti-Semitic play in which Shylock, the Jew, is an avaricious, cunning and heartless devil. Even his own daughter deserts him to become a Christian.

		<description><![CDATA[The Spanish master, Francisco Goya, declared in his Los Caprichos etching series, “the sleep of reason brings forth monsters”. In the hands of an accomplished artist, such sleep awakens poetic genius. Graham Weir, celebrated as artistic high priest of a capella group Not the Midnight Mass, has returned to his original and riveting one-man musical drama,  Letters from Patient Essop. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Without a doubt, Graham Weir is one of our most gifted and daring composers. What’s more, he is still blossoming. His latest creation, A Circus Side Show, bears his inimitable style, and shows him mastering increasingly complex musical forms. It’s also a treat to see Christine Weir back on stage in Cape Town and vocally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The best way to see Graham Weir’s latest musical performance is to sit with your eyes closed. There is brilliance and precision in his vocals these days.
