Dating in the dark
5 February at 8pm
An all new event for singles…
Single + Eskom = Dating in the Dark. The dating scene in Johannesburg is about as unpredictable and uncertain as the February load shedding schedule, leaving all of us singles wondering how we can indeed secure a hot meal at 6:30pm. And before we have to spend Valentines Day swiping left on tinder until our phone battery dies, and our batteries can’t be recharged, the theatre will offer all the singles out there a different kind of dating experience.

The international debut of the work was at the 2014 Drama4Life SexActually Festival.
