Warhorse

One of the highlights of my trip to London last year was the show Warhorse. Lucky for South Africans, the show is heading to our shores this year and my ticket is already booked.

Warhorse

Warhorse had a successful running at Broadway and as mentioned London's West End. The puppets used in the show were made in 2007 by the Cape Town based , Handspring Puppet Company. They are so well made you will forget that the horses and other puppets are not real.

Warhorse is based on the book by Michael Morpungo. The plot is based on a boy who's horse is sold for battle in the WW1 and how he goes on a quest to find the horse again.

Tickets are between R100-R450 and can be purchased at Computicket . It will be running at the Artscape from 5th December 2014 - 4th of January 2015. Some of the shows are already sold out so don't wait to long! You won't be disappointed.

Alexander bar

Alexander bar transports you back into time where velvet furniture was the rage and jazz was the choice of music.

I have visited them a few times for drinks with friends and had the best time! The place is always packed and has a very happy and jovial vibe to it.

The bar has been designed in such a way that  socialising is the priority. Across the bar you will find old telephones. This can be used to phone the bar (when you dial 9) and place your order or why not befriend the table next to you! Just give them a call!

This is a great place to meet for drinks and snacks while chatting the night away with your friends. Wine, cocktails, beer, whiskey and more will be at you disposal. Sandwiches, salads and charcuterie boards are there for you to nibble on. They cater for all budgets! Come if you are a student or a CEO :)

 

Throughout the week the upstairs of Alexander bar will entertain you with live music acts or cabaret shows. Tickets for each show varies but they start from R40. For information about the shows check out their website.
