Review: A GOOD HOUSE at Royal Court

By Stuart King Saturday, January 18 2025, 18:59

The Royal Court plays host to Amy Jephta’s South African racial proximity drama, which wastes little time in scratching away the superficial veneer of integration within a suburban enclave. We land at a cul-de-sac located within a sought-after gated development named Stillwater. Even the name promises stagnation and a churning unrest in the lower depths.

Review: KYOTO at SohoPlace

By Stuart King Saturday, January 18 2025, 09:54

Don Pearlman, lawyer and former point man for the Reagan administration on matters relating to energy policy is co-opted by a sinister conglomerate of multinational oil companies, charged with stymying the growing rumblings for action on climate change. We’re in the mid-1980s, so the spectre of heatwaves, forest fires and coral reef collapse has yet to galvanise and unify world opinion and some would like it to stay that way.
