Overview
“After the wild success of Joshua Harmons Bad Jews, which had its South African Premiere in the Fugard Studio, his new play Significant Other was staged for the first time on the 30th of May 2018.
Significant Other follows Jordan, a single, young professional with a close group of female friends who slowly drift away as they each get married while he searches for his own “Mr Right.” As the singles’ nights turn into bachelorette parties, Jordan discovers that the only thing harder than finding love is supporting the loved ones around you when they do.”

Reviews
“Significant Other is the play that you should see before your next Tinder date.”
Channel 24
“From nerve-jangling opening to finale, Significant Other has what it takes.”
Cape Argus
“Wat die skrywer en regisseur regkry, is om hierdie gegewe so raak uit te beeld dat alle ouderdomsgroepe hulle daarmee kan vereenselwig.”
Die Burger
