The internationally renowned cult musical returns — in a brand-new production from Durban’s own KickstArt Theatre Company, the creative force behind this year’s sold-out sensation My Fair Lady.

Seen by more than 17 000 people earlier in 2025, Steven Stead’s direction and Greg King’s designs lit up Durban’s theatre scene — and now they reunite to re-imagine Richard O’Brien’s outrageous classic.

So grab your fishnets and feather boas, your leather and lace — and let’s do the Time Warp again!

Directed by Steven Stead, with musical direction by Evan Roberts, choreography by Simone Mann, set design by Greg King, and costumes by internationally acclaimed Terrence Bray.
