Snapped opens at the Baxter Theatre Centre on 16 September and to celebrate the country moving down to Level 2, there’s a R100 Level 2 Lockdown Special to see Snapped during the first week of its run (16 – 22 Sep). The country moving down to Level 2 of the National Lockdown, allows the Baxter to add additional seats to all productions. This discount will only be available until the end of this week. Tickets are still limited to only 100 per performance for Snapped, so book early to avoid disappointment. Book HERE
Snapped 16 Sep – 2 Oct
Magnet Theatre’s latest production, Snapped, a companion piece to the hugely successful I turned away and she was gone, premieres at the Baxter this September. This brand-new two-hander explores themes so relevant in the current climate, sensitively and creatively dealing with relationships between fathers and daughters and what it means to be a good man. It tackles loss and grief (and what it takes to overcome these), mortality, as well as the futility and destructive nature of war. True to Magnet Theatre’s award-winning signature style, this latest work is an immersive experience inside a visual archive with striking imagery and photography.
Written and performed by Jennie Reznek and directed by Mark Fleishman, it also features Magnet graduates Carlo Daniels who plays the father, an unknown stretcher bearer and various other characters and Sithyilelo Makupula, who join Jennie and Carlo onstage as ‘crew’.
