ABOUT
Join veteran Daily Maverick writer and wit Marianne Thamm at the newly-opened iconic The Showroom Theatre in Prince Albert for a wild ride through 15 years of State Capture and what was left standing. "Who would have thought that understanding the Constitution could be so weird, witty and wonderful?” said Former Justice Albie Sachs of Thamm's "Round Of Applause - South Africa Still Standing”. LLB Graduate Jaime Uranovsky wrote about the show; "At the core is her ability to weave a narrative: Thamm is a storyteller and she had me, and the rest of the audience, in stitches from start to finish. From the Gupta Leaks to what-the-hell-happened-on-that-ship-in-Simonstown, Thamm recounts, at lightning speed, the highlights and lowlights of recent South African history, ultimately restoring faith in our country through the robustness of our Constitution, our judiciary, and the separation of powers. As an LLB graduate, ROUND of APPLAUSE reminded me how integral freedom of the press is to the protection of our democracy and how crucial journalism and active citizenship are.” A hit at the Baxter Theatre and one of the pics of the Woordfees, Round of Applause was recently staged at the Festival Voor Het Afrikaans in The Hague, Thamm brings this much-talked-out show to the Karoo.
