24 November – Arts, Culture and Environment
Today we were joined by David Johnson. David plays the prince of Morocco in Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice which is currently on in Maynardville. The production is set in Musolini’s Italy in 1943, just pre the Nazi arrival. Directed by Roy Sargeant, the production is said to be worth seeing. Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice is a captivating mix of tragedy and comedy. The production is at Maynardville Open-Air Theatre, in Wynberg till February 16th. Book at Computicket or Artscape Dial-a-Seat at (021) 421 7695.
We also spoke to Lindie Buirski – Environmental Education Coodinator. We were talking about the City of Cape Town’s Youth Environmental School Wetlands Awareness Programme. The programme will be running from the 28th of January to the 8th of February. The programme’s aim is to emphasise that the strong relationship between healthy functioning wetland ecosystems and human health underlines the importance of management strategies that support both the health of wetland ecosystems and the health of humans.
