The Big Issue #308, the ENTERTAINMENT edition, is available in South Africa nationally from select Spar and Pick n Pay stores, and street vendors across Cape Town CBD and suburbs.
Here are some of the highlights from this great overview about what’s happening in the theatre world, which happily coincides with the relaxation of Covid restrictions!
Star Quality – 5 minutes with Jonathan Roxmouth
Reading about Jonathan Roxmouth’s theatrical accolades is jaw-dropping. Watching him perform live on stage, electrifying. More than a quadruple threat, he possesses elusive star quality, playing to sell-out audiences around the world. The Big Issue chats to him.
Hitting high notes
Opera has informed generations of music lovers. Think Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Maria Callas, and Montserrat Caballé … who never fail to evoke goosebumps and whose cover versions (think X Factor) win standing ovations from Gen Zs to boomers. The Big Issue chats to operatic tenor and international star, Stéfan Louw, who charts his career in the performing arts through the changing and challenging decades in South Africa.
Awê Ma Se Kinnes!
Marc Lottering is happy to be able to perform to live audiences once again … Read about his new show, and enjoy a catch up post from his private blog.
