For my American pals: The Springboks (South Africa) & The All Blacks (New Zealand) are playing an epic game of rugby today at 5pm EDT in Baltimore at the M&T Bank Stadium. If you want to see the two best rugby teams in the world knock the absolute shit out of each other, give it a look.

Honestly, people of Cape Town, this is a play you really, really need to see. Like Succession, but with scarier people and higher stakes. Thoroughly thrilling work from Louis Viljoen and the cast. (At Artscape until 30 May.) @uncleloo.bsky.social @bloots.bsky.social @theatrescenecpt.bsky.social

By means of sorcery, sheer dumb luck, the magnanimity of @karavanpress.bsky.social, or a merger of all three, an amassment of my plays is being published. If you find yourself at leisure, pop into The Book Lounge, Cape Town, to help me launch this sucka.

Emily Child who has been in numerous award-winning @uncleloo.bsky.social plays, many of which are in SELECTED PLAYS published by @karavanpress.bsky.social, just got her hands on her own copy… and she’s on the cover too. Safe to say she’s rather happy about it all.
