If I tell you that one of the most moving, exuberant and visually stunning shows to see in London is a youth production devised and performed by a group of South African and London teenagers, you will probably be skeptical.

But Be Yourself is really terrific.

The production uses the full height of the auditorium and repeatedly takes the show into the audience: you feel as though you have been thrust into the very heart of the city, into its smells, sounds and sights.

It is an exhilarating and truly brilliant achievement.
