What you can watch at the Baxter Theatre this June

The Baxter Theatre Centre is an iconic Cape Town spot for lovers of the performing arts. Sitting at the foot of the mountain on UCT’s lower campus, the theatre is known for telling important South African stories.

Here’s what you can watch this June:

The Visigoths

Award-winning playwright and director Louis Viljoen’s new thrilling offering, THE VISIGOTHS, will keep you transfixed at every suspenseful twist and turn at the Baxter’s Masambe Theatre from 6 to 24 June 2023.

Newly released from prison, Roth returns home to bury his mother. Upon returning from the funeral, Roth encounters Theo, a young man whose life he saved years earlier. Theo makes an impossible request and Roth weighs up the consequences if he were to take Theo up on his appeal. What follows is a harrowing conversation about the lengths people will go to seek revenge, the unlikely moments of grace in a cruel world, and the decisions that put one’s soul at hazard.
