Lara Foot’s Top 3 – CEO of the Baxter Theatre, has highlighted her “Top 3” at the Baxter and offering you a Special-Special: R150 for the first four performances of each. Be sure to book now to avoid disappointment.
“There are three productions on our stages this month that I believe are utterly unmissable, each one bold, arresting and brimming with the kind of emotional and artistic truth that lingers long after the final curtain.”
Isidlamlilo / The Fire Eater 09–19 April
“At last, we welcome Neil Coppen to The Baxter with his extraordinary one-woman show, created in collaboration with the incomparable Mpume Mthombeni. I read Isidlamlilo three years ago and have championed bringing it here ever since. It is one of the most powerful works I’ve encountered — an exhilarating and emotionally raw story of a grandmother, once declared legally dead, confronting her violent past and reclaiming her power. This is theatre at its most urgent.” Get the R150 Special (09-12 April) BOOK HERE [see lead photo above
A Doll’s House, Part 2 16 April–10 May
“We are thrilled to welcome home director Barbara Rubin from New York to helm this razor-sharp sequel to Ibsen’s classic. With a remarkable cast, including Bianca Amato and Zane Meas, this play asks what comes next for Nora — with wit, depth and emotional nuance. You don’t need to know the original to be moved by this compelling, modern work about love, freedom and personal reckoning.” Get the R150 Special (16-23 April) BOOK HERE
Hedda Gabler Afrikaans: 01–10 May | English: 12–24 May
“Christiaan Olwagen’s Hedda Gabler is the most provocative and controversial production I’ve seen in years and that’s saying something! This is not theatre for the faint-hearted. Visually arresting and emotionally explosive, it is a searing, contemporary adaptation of Ibsen’s classic that will have you talking for weeks. With Rolanda Marais delivering a truly astonishing performance, this award-winning production fuses the old and new with daring intensity.” Get the R150 Special

“Each of these works holds something vital, resonant and the conversations they spark are exactly why we do what we do at The Baxter. I hope to see you in our foyer soon, whether it’s your first time with us or your hundredth.” THANK YOU Lara Foot!
