Reviews

  • "Black and Blue is a marvelous and accessible theatrical treasure. It will steal your heart and captivate your mind. Strike captures one's heart with her quiet performance... Mooi is a revelation to watch. I can think of no other way to describe this production than as a little masterpiece."

    Peter Tromp, Cape Times

  • "Black and Blue deserves to be seen, simplicity meets intricacy in what can easily be described as a tour de force or images and minimal"

    Rafiek Mammom, Cape Argus

  • "Exquisitely goofy, immaculately acted, delicately nuanced, unfolds like a flower..."

    Clive Lawrence, CUE

  • "Stunningly inventive" 

    Adrienne Sichel, The Star

  • "Strike and Mooi display economy, comic timing and admirably filmic aesthetic. In the simple tale they unfold, lies volumes of huma"
