The Future Present is Female

This week we celebrate women in the arts! John Cooper reviews the all-female cast and produced Shakespeare play The Taming of the Shrew currently on show at the Maynardville Open Air Theatre and I chat to Nontobeko Ntombela, curator of SOLO, an exhibition only showcasing women artists, as part of the Cape Town Art Fair opening today.

In other top story news, I interview Brad Roberts from the Crash Test Dummies about their upcoming SA concerts, Megan C Duckit reports back on the top 10 trends seen at SA Menswear Week and we review The Illusionists' mind baffling magic.

We've got tickets up for grabs to Incubus in Pretoria and Cape Town, Elrow SA in Joburg and the Kirstenbosch Summer Concert featuring Lira!
