Roadkill emerges

[Note... Roadkill is now called Sunday Morning...]

Very exciting news... Roadkill is about to get up and start running!  In the heart of Joburg... a man sets out on a jog to escape a minor problem and runs into a major situation... oh sinner man where you gonna run to... and on that day...

Roadkill written by oh so brill Nick Warren

Apparently just below William Kentridges studio - although I didn't see him through a windowpane working away behind his easel... so i'm not so sure...
A wonderful Gallery space...  theatre shall be on display.  Mm.


Yes this is main city life.

Left off the Highway...

A few days ago I took off my wedding ring and typed in the coordinates for the Windybrow Theatre in Joubert Park to hand in my forms for the festival in June... Only to discover that the theatre is honestly one turn off the highway - and therefore not that scary a drive at all... They are in the midst of drastic restoration renovations. The inner city of Johannesburg... in the shadow of Ponte tower... a stones through from Hillbrow... lies a magic not-so-little theatre. So if you are brave - like me - I think you too should venture one turn off the highway and come and see this spectacular old theatre whose lights are being turned back on.

So, here when we're on...

Tuesday 14 June at 6pm

The festival poster. How pretty. And funky. And Joburg.


For those of you for whom it would take more than one turn off the highway to come see us... here is another little clip of the show we did for Christ Church high school. We adapt the play to perform it in school halls without lighting... and it works. If they can't come to the theatre - take the theatre to them xx
