Kaapse Stories from the Mother City: Dinner Theater Show

The event starts off with a typical Capetonian starters, including Cape Malay classics like samoosas and snoek paté. Act 1 of the show commences after this. Directed by the award winning director Basil Appollis, this production places a strong emphasis on entertainment and allows the international guests to discover the colorful history of the Cape and its vibrant people. Grandpa Joe, known to everyone as ‘Pa Joe,’ takes the audience on a journey of extraordinary events along with his family, legally adopted or otherwise- brother Bernie, uncle Charlie and precocious granddaughter Genevieve; a host of other surprise characters pop up throughout the night, and display their hidden talents and delightful sense of humor, whilst showing resilience and pride in the face of adversity.

Halfway through Act 1 & Act 2, the show pauses for the main course. This is served on a buffet and is a delicious selection of Cape Malay and Capetonian classics including Vegetable Breyani, Beef Fillet, Cape Hake and much more. When the show has concluded, guests are served traditional Cape desserts including "melktert", "malva pudding" and "koeksisters".

It is dinner theater with a difference, and this interactive entertainment experience with sparkling music, spine-tingling harmonies and vibrant African passion gives Cape Town's growing tourist market an uplifting insight into a remarkable community.
