EVERY BEAUTIFUL THING : Opening night
Opening Night will be on a donations basis. You can book by checking the 'Pay at the door option'
From the team behind the acclaimed ‘A Girl Called Owl’ comes a story about two sisters. A play about silence and noise. About waiting. About old habits, blood bonds, miracles and spare parts. A play about the strange, powerful moments that carve into memory like water through sand.
Susan is adopted. Katelyn is her younger sister – the miracle baby. Susan is a lawyer, wife and mother. Katelyn just rolled her car down a mountain. In the hospital, pain meds and memory twinkle under fluorescent lights, circling ever closer to the truth.
Every Beautiful Thing will premiered at Alexander Bar in May 2015. It toured to the Platteland Preview Festival in Smithfield in June and the National Arts Festival, Grahamstown in July 2015.

Wonderful, intimate performance perfectly suited to the popart venue I thought
I was brought to tears. The performers were very convincing in their characters and the story was so real and honest. Loved it!
Great performances. It seemed a bit rushed but probably opening night jitters. Beautiful writing. Thank you.
Congrats on another excellent production!
