After a successful debut at The Edinburgh Fringe in 2023, writer and performer Jamie-Lee Money and director Larica Schnell will bring their hit play Spin Cycles to the Baxter in 2025. The production will have its Cape Town premiere at The Baxter Studio from 19 February to 1 March 2025.
Spin Cycles is a one person show about spinning, grief, love, healing and everything in between.
It explores the processing and suppression of grief through the strange cult-like world of spin classes, giving a cathartic look into why we search for something deeper when the inconceivable happens to us.
