Not even Eskom’s load-shedding could ruin a night of fun and laughter when the annual PE Shakespearean Festival (PESF) in collaboration with Pemads kicked off this year’s production of The Taming of the Shrew on Thursday.
The curtain is due to go up this week on a fresh production of The Taming of the Shrew, which will simultaneously launch a new youth initiative to resurrect theatre in Nelson Mandela Bay.

The unnamed co-star of “Drunk Bus,” now showing at The Little Theatre, is Rochester. The film’s co-directors, John Carlucci and Brandon LaGanke, and producer Eric Hollenbeck are back in town this weekend, a reunion with the city that served as a stand-in for Kent, Ohio, the setting for their film with an indie vibe. “Drunk Bus” smells like something that could develop a cult following: the story of a bus driver who ferries hard-partying college students to and from the town’s bars and other alcohol-driven appointments.
