We were talking about his new play, Passage, that will be showcased at the Baxter Flipside for a short season from 4^th to 22^nd of March. Commissioned by the Western Cape Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport, Passage was devised by Doni and the cast and is an exciting new collaboration between the Baxter Theatre Centre, Magnet Theatre and Zabalaza Theatre Festival.
