THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time takes place in the year 1998 in and around the town of Swindon, England. The fifteen-year-old narrator of the story, Christopher John Francis Boone, discovers the slain body of his neighbour’s poodle, Wellington, on the neighbour’s front lawn one evening and sets out to uncover the murderer. His investigation is at times aided, and at other times hampered, by the mild form of autism he lives with. After Christopher hits a policeman in a misunderstanding at the scene of the crime, the police take Christopher into custody. They release Christopher with only a stern warning, under the condition that he promises to them and to his father not to look into the murder any further. Christopher chronicles his investigation in a book- the book we are reading- as part of a school assignment. Ignoring repeated warnings from his father, Christopher investigates the crime scene and conducts interviews with the residents of his block. He uncovers a more tangled plot than was first apparent.

HERTZOG BOULEVARD
CLASS(Y) CLOWN
Hertzog Boulevard is a tragedy and a love story, but it’s also a very funny reminder of the fragility of our ideals. Who are the forgotten and over-looked people who live on Cape Town’s streets, how do they get up every morning to spend another day searching for food in dustbins and begging for money to buy a drink, and how different are they really to those of us who spend our days in the more acceptable parts of the city? Lazarus has just returned to his old stomping ground after spending time in Pollsmoor prison for attempted murder.
After the sold-out success of Love Factually and Planet Mirth, this popular comedian returns with BRAND NEW stand-up content. It’s time to be reeducated about the comic state of the world: covering everything from science, history and geography to phys-ed, sex education and home economics, this show promises some textbook laughs …
While incarcerated he converted to Christianity and became a preacher, but back on the streets he is forced to question whether he really changed as much as he thought he had. He is rediscovered by his oldest friend, Dorcas, who is a harsh realist, but fiercely protective of her long-time partner. Together, they share the tragedy and humour that always resides so close together for Cape Town’s bergie.

LANGARM
BACK TO MY ROOTS 5 - 10 NOVEMBER
MARRIED BUT NOT TO EACH OTHER 16 NOVEMBER
He was white. She was not. They broke the law to dance. Langarm, the latest musical created by the award-winning David Kramer. Langarm is a story of love and intrigue set in the story-world of Cape Town’s ballroom dance culture in the 1960s. With the threat of the new apartheid laws hanging over their heads, people will do almost anything to survive. In 1965 when Dinah Levin is widowed, she invites her nephew Jeff whose fiancé has just dumped him to help her manage her late husband’s Canterbury Hotel. Here he meets the lovely, young ballroom dancer Angelina, and when she asks him to partner her in The Swaziland Ballroom Championships, he sees it as an opportunity to humiliate his ex. Aware that he’ll risk arrest by flouting the law, he throws caution to the wind and agrees.

GALILEO OPEN AIR CINEMA SEASON 7 We attended the first Galileo screening with a relaxed atmosphere, good food, great service and an absolutely outstanding launch to season 7. It was a full-house on opening night at Kirstenbosch, with an excellent vibe and great people. When the crowd pulled in, there was barely a spot of lawn left visible once everyone was seated. The vendors were booming, with people still queuing right until the start of the movie. The addition of grande coffees this season are a plus for the coffeeholics and the Stellenbosch Brewing Company will be supplying cold ones for all the beer drinkers. Thai chicken and coconut samoosas were an interesting and creative twist on the usual varieties, a must try for anyone wanting to break out of the proverbial “samoosa mould”. New rotating Southern Suburbs venues gives easy access for week day screenings, and the longer, leisurely drives to the wine estates are left to weekends. A dance demo that tied in with the movie, Dirty Dancing was an added bonus for the audience’ pleasure. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS SEASON DAYS Gone from every second Saturday to EVERY Saturday at different wine estates across the Cape Winelands.

memorable family outings
Visiting a wine estate for either wine tasting or a day outing destressed itself in recent years with some of the best destinations making an extra effort to accommodate children and young adults. We are not talking jungle gyms but curated experiences and special design that attends to the younger members of the group and cater for their need for activity.

ALLEE BLEUE The picnic offerings include a special basket for kids and the picnic ground is a large, fenced meadow in the heart of the estate. They also serve complete pizza boards from the restaurant to the picnic area.

The 3.5 hectares is laid on a classic grid and discloses big varieties of hidden spaces, pocket gardens and crossing paths. It is a charming experience for all ages. The hiring of a guide is not a must, you can choose to stroll by yourself after paying the small entry fee.

A tea ceremony takes place at 9:30 on Tuesdays in the healing garden and includes an informative explanation of nature’s medicine chest. The central layout of the garden follows the form of the human body with
herbs to heal the head, heart, lungs, digestive system, organs, skin, bones and feet. The trees planted in this garden are some of the “giants” in African healing traditions. Herbs along the outer wall follow the seasons, summer to winter, specially selected to heal, soothe and balance the body through the time-honoured pleasure of tea. Available to children over 10 years and older. BOSCHENDAL The existing Splish Splash play area is about to be joined by The Tree House - a place for children to day dream. FRANSCHHOEK CELLAR They offer a covered kiddie’s play area supervised by childminders (for children under 1.2m tall) and a babysitting service under your watchful eye.

GRANDE PROVENCE Red and white grape juice ‘tasting’ especially for children. Colouring-in activities occupy the children while parents concentrate on enhancing their wine tasting skills. A jungle gym, with supervision, occupies the children while parents linger over their lunch. Family picnics near the vines or within the beautiful gardens are a perfect style of relaxed al fresco dining over the summer. LA BOURGOGNE This family estate is situated along the Berg River. Overnight sleeping or day visiting allows strolls and picnics on the lush lawns. Franschhoek Cellar
They also offer a High Tea menu to celebrate any occasion. This is subject to pre-booking. LEOPARD’S LEAP The Rotisserie offers a ‘Family Table’ for groups of 10 or more with a dedicated waitron to take care of any need and platters to be shared. In smaller groups, children are offered a small craft set or educational games to keep them occupied. MONTE ROCHELLE Referring to children as ‘Little Corkers’ they created a parallel experience for the young ones. Although parental supervision is required, they offer dedicated accommodation for children, a range of activities, flexible menus in both restaurants to meet some fussy tastes, grape juice tastings, competitive gaming on the lawns that are located around the grounds and a scavenger hunt.
Grande Provence
NOBEL HILL Cosecha, the Latin inspired restaurant of the estate, is rolling out the elevated deck and ground level lawns that goes all the way to the river bank.

Continuing the evolution since its inception, the menu also progressed from two bites and traditional dishes to sharing plates that allows a small party to enjoy a larger selection. The menu is made up of classic Spanish dishes and local interpretations that rely on fresh local ingredients. Tapas include surprises like Cauliflower Popcorn and Tuna Tacos and Hum & Duck Croquets. Main courses attends vegetarians’ needs too and there is even a special list of sharing dishes for 3-4 people. The menu also include a ‘Bar Snacks’ list for those who just look for a light stop amidst the day. A perfect pairing to a glass of local wine, Cape Town crafted beer or a refreshing cocktail. It is an all day, two levels restaurant that includes open public spaces and a more secluded, private space to eat, meet and drink on the upper level. The chosen location, at the end of the Alfred Mall, right before you reach the Old Port Captain’s building, allows an uninterrupted view of Table Mountain and a preferable spot for a sunset drink and snack after a long day of touring.

Both ends of the road offer interesting destinations and gatherings to consider when taking the road, making it a full day trip.
