SUMMARY:The Tramp
DESCRIPTION:He’s a gentleman\, a poet\, a dreamer\, a lonely fellow\, always hopeful of romance and adventure. He would have you believe he is a scientist\, a musician\, a duke\, a polo-player. However\, he is not above picking up cigarette-butts or robbing a baby of its candy. And\, of course\, if the occasion warrants it\, he will kick a lady in the rear—but only in extreme anger!’ “The Tramp”: a new mini-musical that tells the story of Charlie Chaplin through the perspective of his old friend \, his beloved Tramp character.\nThe show follows The Tramp as he reflects on Chaplin’s rise to fame. He ponders on their symbiotic relationship\, and the eventual betrayal of their friendship\, that led to Chaplin’s exile from America for communist sympathies \n“Life is tragedy in close-up\, but comedy in long-shot”… The retelling of Charlie’s story through popular music and silent film gives a fresh view on the life of the iconic\, yet controversial comedic genius. The Tramp was everyman’s champion shielding a shy\, moody\, fastidious Chaplin. And with the arrival of the talking movies\, the Tramp was sidelined\, and Chaplin himself stepped into the limelight. With this newfound voice\, Charlie tarnishes his image with naïve political speeches and scandalous love affairs. And without the Tramp in his corner\, he became an easy target for the cross-dressing J Edgar Hoover\, the gossipmonger Hedda Hopper and the gin-soaked senator Joseph McCarthy. “The Tramp” explores the complicated bond between an artist and the character they create\, blending comedy and tragedy in a heartfelt reflection on fame\, identity\, and betrayal. “A ten-out-of-ten production” – Robyn Sassen\, MYVIEW “Daniel Anderson’s stunning one-man cabaret doesn’t just resurrect Charlie\, it excavates the heart-breaking human cost behind the world’s beloved silent clown. A fantastic show… it is theatre that reminds us why live performance matters”. – Barry Morisse “THE TRAMP is an absolutely captivating\, brilliant and superlative production in every sense of the work – unlike anything you have ever seen before this season. See it. You will never forget it” – Leon Van Nierop “Soos met die bejaarded Chaplin se verering in 1972 tydens die Oscars\, verdien THE TRAMP applous wat nie end kry nie! Danie Anderson is a rare talent”. – Kobus Burger\, Media24 \nDuration: 1h 30 mins with intermission\nInterval: No\nAge Restriction: N/A\nLatecomers will not be admitted \nKindly note Artscape provides wheelchair seating. You can book directly via this website but should you require assistance please call Artscape Dial-a-Seat on 021 421 76 95 who will assist with navigation and booking.

SUMMARY:Camissa Heritage Tour
DESCRIPTION:Camissa Heritage Tour retraces South Africa’s colonial past and its deep historical ties with the Netherlands. At its heart\, the tour tells the story of South Africa’s First Peoples\, the Indigenous ‘San’ and ‘Khoi’ communities\, who lived on this land for thousands of years. These communities resisted the scourge of the settlers and refused to work for the Dutch East India Company (VOC). \nThis site-specific performance\, adapted for theatre\, guides audiences through historically significant locations including the Castle of Good Hope\, Cape Winelands\, Iziko South African Museum\, and other key sites. Through storytelling\, performance\, and restorative memory\, our work brings to light the often-overlooked histories of Indigenous peoples\, the legacy of slavery in the Cape\, and colonial imprints left by the Netherlands and other European countries. \nWhen we remember\, we reconnect with who we are. \nCamissa\, “place of sweet waters”\, reminds us of water’s enduring role as a source of cleansing and healing. \nDirected and Choreographed by Luke De Kock \nDuration: 90min; No interval\nAge Restriction: All \n \nKindly note that Artscape provides wheelchair seating.

SUMMARY:Bridgetown Theatre Company’s - Gen Z.A!
DESCRIPTION:Bridgetown Theatre Company’s -Gen Z.A! is a bold\, high-energy dramedy musical that blends song\, spoken word\, acting\, and dance to tell a compelling and interactive story full of humour\, heartache\, love\, and anger. With sharp satire\, the production explores how Generations Z and A navigate their hyper-digital world — caught between influencers\, social media\, career dreams\, non-traditional education\, and an ever-present sense of economic injustice. \nSet in a post-pandemic world — no social distancing\, masks\, or sanitizers required — Gen Z.A! invites the audience into a participatory experience\, where props become plot devices and viewers help steer the story. Despite the chaos of gimmicks and scattered seating\, the cast commands attention with confidence and charisma. \nAt its core\, Gen Z.A! gives voice to the frustrations and insights of today’s youth: from unemployment\, marginalization\, and identity\, to sexuality\, race\, and social inequality. It’s an unfiltered\, “no-holds-barred” portrayal of what it means to be young\, aware\, and disillusioned in a complex world. While its themes may seem heavy\, the execution is vibrant — packed with sharp wit\, captivating choreography\, electrifying music\, and brilliant performances. Fast-paced and fearless\, this 45-minute production pulses with the urgency and spirit of its generation. \nDuration: 45min; no interval\nAge Restriction: None\nLatecomers will not be admitted \nKindly note Artscape provides wheelchair seating.

SUMMARY:I want to call you Daddy
DESCRIPTION:I Want to Call You Daddy – a theatrical play by Marcé Underwood \nI Want to Call You Daddy is a stirring one-woman performance that fuses poetry\, storytelling\, song\, and movement to explore single motherhood in post-apartheid South Africa. Beginning with the raw moment of childbirth\, the story follows a mother’s emotional journey through milestones like her daughter’s first school day\, the challenges of maintenance court\, and the quiet ache of a child’s unanswered questions. \nChallenging stereotypes\, the play confronts the often-overlooked reality of white paternal absence and asks\, through searing spoken word and haunting Holocaust echoes: How do those shaped by historical trauma repeat cycles of abandonment? \nThis is not only a story of pain\, but one of resilience\, where art becomes survival. Neither a Cape Flats cliché nor a tale of privilege\, the piece offers space for complex\, marginalised narratives. At its heart is a child’s plea and a mother’s transformative love—a powerful reminder of the strength that remains when all else fails. \nA haunting\, genre-defying work that will stay with you long after the final bow. \nDuration: 90min; including interval\nAge Restriction: No under 6 years \n \nKindly note Artscape provides wheelchair seating. You can book directly via this website but should you require assistance please call Artscape Dial-a-Seat on 021 421 76 95 who will assist with navigation and booking.
