Daring musicals and classic talents

A proudly local theatre and music-inspired newsletter we bring you this Tuesday. Top story by Daniel Dercksen is a review of Afrikaans production, Ons Vir Jou, a daring and ambitious musical about the Anglo-Boer War currently on show at the Artscape. Dercksen also gives his thoughts on Tennessee Williams' poignant play; The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here.

Eugene Yiga interviews two classical talents; musical director of The Cape Consort Hans Huyssen about new programme Anticipating the Apocalypse, and classical-pop star Selim Kagee about his one-night-only performance at the Baxter Theatre.

In foodie news, the nominees for this year's Eat Out Awards have been announced, while in automotive news, Henrie Geyser recommends the Johannesburg International Motor Show for all petrol heads.

Our new competition this week sees you stand a chance to win two tickets to Park Acoustics next Sunday featuring Zebra & Giraffe, The Plastics, Gran'Mah, We Set Sail and more!
