I Can't Speak for Freddie opens at the Homecoming Centre in District 6 next week: a stripped-back one-act about two 19-year-old acting students whose friendship, romance and trust collide, after a sold-out pilot run.

The show will run at the Homecoming Centre from 18 to 23 August, with extra performances at the Outlaw Base on 27 and 28 August; booking is through Quicket.

Shambles, a South African vertical sitcom made for TikTok, has already passed six million views and packs 68 micro-episodes into about 90 minutes of screen time.

The health feature unpacked obstetric violence, describing it as birth turning into trauma through verbal abuse, coercion, denial of pain relief and even women giving birth on the floor in under-resourced facilities.

Listeners also got weekend entertainment tips, including Still Here Nor at Theatre Arts in Observatory, the CPO Wind Quartet at the Baxter, and new films One Night Only and The End of Oak Street.
