Play Things is South Africa’s leading experimental performance platform, where newcomers and big names test bold new ideas in front of a live audience. Founded at the Alexander Bar and now produced by writer Cailyb Prinsloo and comedian Sophie Joans, it runs monthly at Theatre Arts and has featured at The Masque Theatre, Drama Factory, and the National Arts Festival. With over 100 artists showcased, it’s a vital space for development, risk-taking, and creative connection.

“Play Things is a fundamental need for artists… integral to the growth and sustainability of performance in South Africa.” - Robyn Dunlop
