Theatre: Girl in the Yellow Dress

There has been some good theatre of late. Matthew Ribnick is back with "Monkey Nuts" (on now at the Nelson Mandela/Civic theatre) and I was lucky enough to catch "Girl in the Yellow Dress" at the Market Theatre. These are two completely different types of plays.  I have been told that Monkey Nuts is hilarious and brilliantly silly. The one man tour de force that is the Ribnick delivers again. I am unfortunately too busy to see it (and there was a great Groupon on it as well!) but I hope that many do and support the theatre in general!

Girl in a Yellow Dress is a two person show about the tangled relationship between a teacher and her student. It has been billed as a psycho-sexual drama, but there is fantastic social and racial discourse.  The play is heavy to say the least but very well written . I won't give anymore away, check it out for yourself.
I am really looking forward to seeing the Phantom of the Opera at the Theatro at Monetcasino. It has started and runs till the end of January 2012. Needless to say, there will be a review :)
