Time Out says Rate it

Upstairs:
It's not always clear where in space and time we're supposed to be in this two-handed Zimbabwean version of 'The Two Gentlemen of Verona'. The production 'arises out of a desire to fuse the seemingly disparate elements of a play by Shakespeare and the performance style of South African Township Theatre'. Denton Chikura and Tonderai Munyevu make a wonderful comic double act, though Pohlmeier's 90-minute shoestring production is necessarily dependent on severe reduction – something that doesn't make the most of Shakespeare's play. Some of the best moments come when the performers break off from the text to interpolate song and dance routines: more of this and more boldness and they could deliver something really special next time.
