Episode Details

Shakespeare wrote "All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players", and we were lucky enough to get one of them for this episode. Gino spends time with actor, musician and dancer Anelisa Phewa, talking Shakespeare, philosophy and of course the gripping legal drama Law, Love & Betrayal, now streaming on Showmax.

In Law, Love & Betrayal, Anelisa, known for his performances in iThemba, Unmarried, and Soon Comes the Night, as well as Sifiso in 7de Laan, portrays the sharp and cunning lawyer, James Makaula. This character is a tribute to his own father, a real-life lawyer, which adds an emotional depth to his performance.

For the last 4 years, Anelisa has been giving back as Founder, Consultant, Educator & Performance Coach for Dramatec: South Africa’s Premier Acting Consultancy, specialising in performance enhancement theory within the Television and Film industry. 

As Shakespeare said, "They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts".
