THURSDAY 25 7:30 pm PLAYING WITH POETRY
Poet Kobus Moolman reads selections of his poetry combined creatively with music played by pianist Christopher Duigan. This presentation won great acclaim at the recent Franschhoek Literary Festival.

FRIDAY 26 THE COMPOSER’S CHOICE 7:30 pm
For a selection of classical piano music with an unusual focus, Christopher Duigan plays a programme of composer's favourites, works of others that great composers themselves valued, performed and taught. With Beethoven admiring Clementi, Chopin dismissing Schumann and Liszt championing the music of many of his contemporaries, this promises to be a intriguing recital of music. Includes wine and coffee R80
SATURDAY 27 COMING UP ROSES 7:30 pm
Louise Buchler’s play Coming Up Roses makes a quick stop in PMB before heading to the Grahamstown Arts Festival. Directed by Peter Mitchell the play follows Christine (Caitlin Kilburn), Earnest (Ron Barbour) and Cadence (Louise Buchler), three people stuck in a rut. Follow these three unwitting characters as they deal with life’s curveballs – jail, dead fish, ruby red stilettos, supermarket aisles and internet dating, and then again there are the signs ...
