Shows to watch on Thursday, at NAF in Grahamstown.

I’m easing into the day with a family theatre production A Tale of Horribleness at 10am at Princess Alice Hall.

Then I’m seeing a UKZN production at midday of Mob Feel, an examination of gang rivalry and ethnic violence in Joburg in the 1950s.

There’ll be no graveyard shift after lunch today unless you want to end up as dinner for the wolf in The Three Little Pigs, described as a taut, subversive adaptation of the children’s story.

At 4pm, I’ll attend Plasma, brought to Grahamstown by Izandla productions, which looks at parenting – or the lack thereof - in a cyberspace era.

In the Rhodes University production, Intranceit 2012, The Memory of Water, which I’ll see at 6pm, three sisters gather following the death of their mother and look back on their lives.

Master of the Café Society at 10pm is the Steven Berkoff story of one man’s inability to rise beyond his shortcomings.

My first jazz jam is at 11.30pm at DSG and will set me up perfectly for a hectic round of sessions over the weekend.

I have a special date at 8pm Thursday to watch Tweet - The Musical from the Waterfront Theatre School in Cape Town. Directed by Paul Griffiths, it looks at cyber and real connections between people. One of the Tweeters is Rebecca Hartle. Should be fun but don't expect an objective review on this page.
