What a fulfilling and inspiring afternoon spent engaging with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year students at LAMTA.
We explored the craft of telling arresting stories through technical mediums like light—an area that continues to excite and challenge me. The level of curiosity, engagement, and discipline from these students was truly impressive.
They are bright, thoughtful, and full of both vigour and rigour. The future of theatre feels dynamic and in very good hands.
Already looking forward to next week’s sessions.
Thrilled to announce a new project which begins in a month from now at The Baxter Theatre.
AN ILIAD is a visceral retelling of Homer’s epic for our time. War has never been ancient history.
An Iliad brings Homer’s legendary tale crashing into the present — asking a simple, unsettling question: why do we keep telling this story — and why do we keep living it?
This is not a polite, distant epic. It is immediate. Human. Darkly funny. Brutal. Tender.
You don’t need to know Homer.
You don’t need to love epics.
You only need to be human.
A reminder that the oldest stories still know us better than we think.

Have been having a ball setting up for the Jive Cape Town Funny Festival for the remarkable Eddy Cassar whose brainchild is in its 26th year. It is my favourite time of year as the festival brings such joy to so many in Cape Town. Including me!
What a gift!
The fantastic Baxter Theatre production team has been inspiring to work with and we are creating magic together. I am truly in my happy place.
Get your tickets Cape Town as this year’s festival is going to ‘slay’ as my children would say!
