Bangalory’s Back at the Baxter Cape Town
Janice Honeyman performs live in Bangalory’s Back for the whole family this Summer at the Baxter
Acclaimed director Janice Honeyman returns to the stage in her production of Bangalory’s Back this festive season at the Baxter Golden Arrow Studio, from 9 December to 9 January at 10:00 and 12:00, Tuesdays to Saturdays.
After decades of directing award-winning productions, the much-loved and respected Honeyman recreates the magic of storytelling. This charming and delightful show – ideally suited for children aged 5 to 12 – promises to be an undeniable highlight on the Cape Town calendar for the whole family.
From 1976 to 1977 she became a household name in South Africa when she presented the very first children’s television show Bangalory Time, at 18:10 on Wednesday nights, and which had many families glued to their screens. Janice, along with Zoleka Helesi (Mies Julie, Zabalaza Theatre Festival) and Marty Kintu (Blue Orange, War Horse) bring back the masterful art of entertainment for the young and old with a morning of fun story-making, music, comedy, puppetry and tale-telling. Add in a few silly limericks, some sweet little riddles, some guessing games, dot-to-dots, jigsaw puzzles, sing-a-long for the children, and voila! perfect summer fun for the entire family.
Honeyman returns from Johannesburg where she directed the highly popular annual pantomime Sleeping Beauty. She brings along her usual brand of fun with Bangalory’s Back for which she has written short five stories with colourful illustrations, to bring to life the vibrancy and magic of its characters and settings.
“In the Bangalory Story shop we will pick each story from the twirling tell-tale tree,” explains the director. “It will be fast, fun, zany and sometimes even sad and touching. The shop will be decorated with mobiles, crafts, puppets, dolls and prompt props that suggest a space filled with stories. We hope to create a lovely sharing family experience so we’d love to see grandparents, parents and children attending. I would really like them to leave the auditorium feeling imaginatively stimulated so we will also throw in some selfies and signing after the performances.”
The Tale of Twankerly Gloop is a story about loneliness, exclusion and friendship. We feel in love with the gloop who lives on the stoep, and in spite of his unfortunate looks, we end becoming the best of buddies.
Arlindo and the Dolphins is a Mozambican story about a young boy who plays the marimba and who is bullied by older boys. He is helped by a group of dolphins who love his music. Touching and colourful with a bit of Marrabenta music thrown in, there is also a fun participatory dance for the kids.
In The Butterfly Miracle, Tonio and Bella are on a quest to find their parents in the Blue Mountains. The siblings are kindly helped along by a fabulous fish, a bird of paradise and a beautiful butterfly. Kindness is returned with kindness.
Using the old Japanese style of storytelling Kamishibai, a picture show with puppets, is illustrated in Thoko and Tholeka’s Takeways which features a magical old bag lady who helps the children to make their dreams comes true. No prizes for guessing who the old bag lady is!
Simphiwe and Nikiwe is a modern African version of Hansel and Gretel set in Gugs and Cape Town. Throughout this story the children will be asked to help through guessing games, dot to dots, jigsaw puzzles and a sing-a-long.
Tickets are R75 throughout and booking for Bangalory’s Back is through Computicket on 0861 915 8000, online at www.computicket or at any Shoprite Checkers outlet.

Winnie the Pooh at Artscape Theatre Cape Town

Join all the love able characters from the famous Winnie the Pooh as they take you on a woodland journey through the 100 acre wood
“If ever there is a tomorrow when we’re not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart… I’ll always be with you.” ― Winnie the PoohEveryone’s favourite bear will be taking up residence in the Artscape Theatre from Thursday, 10 to Wednesday, 23 December 2015. He may have a very little brain but he’s loveable all the same, and he’ll be joining all his Hundred Acre Wood friends to entertain kids and kids at heart with a fun adaptation of the old classic.
Kids can watch in delight as Pooh bear embarks on numerous adventures, like waking up on a snowy winter’s day and going to find Piglet, only to find Piglet has gone looking for Pooh. Little ones are invited to help Eeyore, Pooh, Piglet and friends look for a woozle, celebrate Eeyore’s birthday, feed Tigger and take a wander to the North Pole.
If you’re now feeling nostalgic for that honey-loving honey of a teddy, here are some of our top A.A. Milne quotes:
- "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
- ”If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.”
- “Love is taking a few steps backward maybe even more… to give way to the happiness of the person you love.”
- “You can’t help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he doesn’t spell it right; but spelling isn’t everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn’t count.”
- “Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?”

Goldfish Back in Cape Town
his summer, Cape Town’s hottest club and restaurant, Shimmy Beach
Club, will again host ten exclusive ‘Goldfish Submerged Sundays’
concerts, starting 29 November 2015.
Classically trained Jazz musicians David Poole and Dominic Peters, AKA Goldfish, infuse live instruments and vocals into their performances, creating celebrated combinations of organic and electronic music. In the same vein as electronic acts such as Groove Armada, Basement Jaxx and Massive Attack, their music blends House sounds with Jazz and African beats.
From their beginnings as UCT music students, Dominic and David have gone on to become one of the most original music duos in recent history – releasing award-winning albums and developing a live DJ show that sees them spend most of their schedule touring internationally, playing to sold out crowds.
“It’s all about live instruments”, says Dominic. “Dave plays saxophone and flute and I play electric double bass and keyboards. We mix this with dance beats and basically go nuts for about an hour and a half… sort of the re-invention of the DJ.”
From scooping record-breaking nominations at the South African Music Awards and being supported by Dr Dre, Faithless and Pete Tong, to performing at the Sydney Opera House, Amsterdam Olympic Stadium, Glastonbury and Ultra Music Festival (Miami), Goldfish yet again prove why they are one of the most thrilling, live House outfits around.
Shimmy Beach Club, voted as Cape Town’s hottest Club by Zomato, balances the style of international party life and the laid-back atmosphere of Cape Town, making it a stylish venue to rival Ibiza’s beach club scenes. Malcolm Moodie Shimmy GM says, “Shimmy is more than just a venue, it’s a lifestyle –a premium entertainment hub that’s the perfect place for friends to have a good time.”
Goldfish Submerged Sundays runs from 29 November 2015 to 31 January 2016, every Sunday. Goldfish will be joined each week by a line-up of local or international DJ’s -the opening night features German dance sensation, Stimming.
Book tickets via NuTickets (www.afterhours.nutickets.co.za). General Access tickets start at R100 pp and VIP tickets are R250 pp.
To book VIP table bookings email info@shimmybeachclub.co.za or call 021 200 7778. The closest parking lot to Shimmy Beach Club is at The C
