Event information
From 20 - 29 October, the Baxter Theatre puts on a run of the award-winning production 'The Unlikely Secret Agent' in the Baxter Golden Arrow Studio.
Based on the novel written by Ronnie Kasrils, this production tells the true story of Kasrils' wife Eleanor who worked as an agent for the ANC during apartheid. After she is arrested at the bookstore where she works, this single mother endures 90 days of brutal interrogation at the hands of the police as part of their hunt for 'Red' Ronnie Kasrils.
'The Unlikely Secret Agent' is written and directed by Paul du Toit and Eleanor is portrayed by Erika Marais. Following the matinee performance on 23 October, a Q and A session takes place with Ronnie Kasrils.
