An unforgettable week of iconic theatre awaits Durbanites

The students of the International School of Performing Arts (ISPA) have prepared a night of unforgettable musical theatre.

Their production, "Showtime" will feature songs from hit musicals like "Dear Evan Hansen", "The Greatest Showman" and "Hamilton". 

Where: Reddam House in Ballito. 

When: Today at 7pm.

Callum’s Will

This emotionally layered, poignant two-hander drama will be restaged for a short run in Durban.

Set in the UK, "Callum’s Will" was created for multi-award-winning actor Darren King by multi-award-winning playwright, director, actress and film-maker, Janna Ramos Violante.

Now, 14 years on, King is excited to revisit this piece under the direction of Blessing Xaba.

The story still stays true to its driving themes, the surprising relationship that develops between Callum Griffith, an ex-professional ballet dancer now confined to a wheelchair after a freak accident, and Will, an unlikely boy hired by Callum to run errands for him three times a week.

Will, a Zimbabwean ex-pat, has big dreams hidden behind his bad-boy image.

Meanwhile, the driving force of this production is the unexpected relationship that blossoms between this mismatched pair, who under any other circumstances would never have met, let alone formed a friendship that would change their lives forever.

Where: Seabrooks Theatre at Durban High School. 

When: Runs until November 2. 

Upcoming:
