Theatre week in Cape Town explores what it means to grow up, let go and confront the past

The play 'Crybaby' tells the story of Samuel, a three-year-old boy who loses his innocence after being exposed to the news during an ordinary morning at daycare. The production uses absurd tragic comedy to explore how modern life and constant media exposure shape perception, forcing an awareness of suffering far too early. It interrogates what it means to grow up in a world defined by instability and constant breaking news.
