The depravity of our ruling political elite is laid bare with hip-hop Shakespearean hilarity and deep satire in SBYA production of Khongolose Khommanding Khommisars. Weep with rage and laugh with despair.

'I have not laughed so hard in a long time, not so much triggered as fired from the canon.' Go see The Agents @artsfestival, last show tonight, 6.30.

"(Graham) Hopkins and (Lihle) Ngubo are a great team, maintaining the relentless pace the play demands, and deftly navigate its thematic twists and turns." - Dave Mann reviews The Lesson, playing @MarketTheatre until 30 October.

Mark Gevisser's unauthorised biography reads as a cynical attempt to try profit off the world's richest man, whose greed is destroying the planet under cover of 'saving humanity'.

Suffering from exposition and blunt visuals, Bloke and His American Bantu is an important story nonetheless.

Grahamstown forged band the Fishwives have a new EP. It's raunchy, irreverent, twisted and subterranean. Launching it @artsfestival on 1 July. Come cut a rug.
