THANK YOU

for voting Societi Bistro one of the ALTO TOP 10 Places to Eat in Cape Town 2012!

It is a one-act play about the Cornish-born British aristocrat Emily Hobhouse, and her battle to expose the harsh conditions under which the British forces in South Africa during the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902 treated Boer prisoners of war, chiefly women and children.

An Audience with Miss Hobhouse delves into the world of Emily Hobhouse, who devoted a good part of her adult years to bringing the plight of Boer women and children to the attention of her British fellow countrymen. It is a one-act play in which the actor plays both Hobhouse - in her later years – and a Boer woman, Tant Alie, who was a genuine victim of the British actions against the Boers in the ir concentration camps, and whose memoir Hobhouse translated into English some years after the end of the war…

A handful of bit players also come on stage – troops, war correspondents and the like – as Miss Hobhouse, supposedly addressing a West End of London theatre audience in her last years, reflects on her role in the conflict, and her only partially successful efforts to make the British public understand how badly the plan by Lord Roberts and later Lord Kitchener to bring the Boers to heel by incarcerating their women and children had gone awry. This production sees Lynita Crofford in the dual roles, directed by Christopher Weare. The play was first performed at the Schreiner Karoo Writers Festival in Cradock, Eastern Cape, where the premiere performance was greeted with a standing ovation.

 

An Audience with Miss Hobhouse is on at the Intimate Theatre, accross the road from Societi Bistro, from 11 to 16 September 2012.

 

Tickets are available through webtickets – Get Tickets.

Hartenberg Estate is on top of the world after its highly acclaimed The Stork Shiraz 2008 clinched first place in the top 10 ranking of the 2012 Syrah du Monde competition in France.

Hartenberg The Stork was the best performer and one of three South African wines to make the top ten selection, which this year included 14 wines as some of the scores were described by the competition as “rigorously equal”.

Syrah du Monde, the only international wine competition dedicated solely to this varietal, held at Château d’Ampuis, rated 445 wines from 24 countries, awarding gold medals to just 30 wines.

With a track record spanning nearly 40 years, Hartenberg’s Shiraz regularly takes centre stage at local and international awards enjoying an unmatched reputation for high-end quality and above all, consistency. This achievement at Syrah du Monde follows on the international 3rd place achieved by The Stork 2005 in the same competition in 2008.

“The Stork vineyard site imparts immediacy, ‘jump out of the glass’ flavours, richness and a broad palate to finish,” is how Carl Schultz, Hartenberg’s award winning winemaker of the past 19 years, describes the remarkable single vineyard which produces the grapes for this wine that teems with black fruit, violets and cherries.

Carl is fortunate to be able to age his flagship reds in the estate’s impressive underground maturation cellar for a minimum of four years, allowing them to reach their full potential prior to release. The Stork 2008 is only up for release in September 2012, but is available on special request from the cellar at R380 a bottle.

Hartenberg Estate is situated on the Bottelary Road off the R304 to Stellenbosch. Open 7 days a week for tastings, picnic lunches and wetland walks, but cellar tours are by appointment only. Contact Tel: (+27)21-8652541, Email: info@hartenbergestate.com or visit www.hartenbergestate.com.
