Last night we watched the stage production of Mephisto, performed by the Mechanicals Company and directed by Christopher Weare a former Simon’s Towner.
Mephisto is based on the lives of a group of actors in German Theatre during the Nazi rise to power. Real-life characters and how the changes in Germany forced friends and family to take sides and live with the consequences; it is a true story about the Holocaust and how it affected the lives of the small group of actors. .
Watching this passionate group of actors I knew why TV is not the answer to real entertainment.
Now that we’ve reached the end of the Soccer World Cup we can exchange the soccer stadium for the theatre. And what better way than the brilliant Mephisto. I am no critic but this is a show not to be missed. And after you have watched it I would like you tell me how much you enjoyed it.
Simonstown is truly one of the most beautiful places in South Africa. We have amazing sunrises and colourful sunsets. The bay can be as flat as a mirror or choppy and wild.
A visit to Simon’s Town was always on our “must-do” list when we were holidaying in Cape Town. The beautiful houses on the mountainside and the quaint village shops, the holiday atmosphere and the naval activities. Imagine to live in a charming village like Simonstown? Surely we were not the only people with that wish. Well we have been here for just over 3 years now and apart from the southeaster in summer Simonstown is the charming seaside village we thought it would be.
Just after we moved to Simon’s Town we met a wonderful couple – energetic business owners with a passion for what they do. How many times did I pop-in to buy something small and walked out with bags full of goodies and nearly late for the next appointment after an enjoyable chat and a couple of new recipe ideas.
But like in all places big or small – people come and people go. Our 2 friends also decided it is time to move on. Although we will be sad to see them leave we have to respect their decision. The good news is that their wonderful business are now for sale and who knows maybe we will find a buyer who will have the same passion and energy as our friends. You are welcome to contact me should you be interested in this Simon’s Town business for sale.
