Performing Arts Bulawayo [PAB] and the Academy [Bulawayo]
Oh! What a Lovely War (27 February)
Thursday 27 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
'Oh! What a Lovely War' is the 1969 film directed by Richard Attenborough, with a cast including among others Dirk Bogarde, Paul Daneman, Edward Fox, John Gielgud, Jack Hawkins, Ian Holm, John Mills, Kenneth More, Nanette Newman, Laurence Olivier, Cecil Parker, Corin Redgrave, Michael Redgrave, Vanessa Redgrave, Ralph Richardson, Maggie Smith and Susannah York!
Admission: $3.00 [free to film members]
Elgar: Enigma Variations / The Man behind the Mask (28 February)
Friday 28 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.
Two films to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Elgar's death on 23 February 1934. The first is a BBC documentary in which Sir Andrew Davis unravels the mystery of the famous musical puzzle contained in Elgar's work before conducting a complete performance in the cathedral in Elgar's home town of Worcester.
In the second film, John Bridcut explores the secret conflicts in Elgar's nature which produced some of Britain's greatest music. Although often regarded as the quintessential English gentleman, Elgar's image of hearty nobility was deliberately contrived. In reality, he was the son of a shopkeeper, who was awkward, nervous, self-pitying and often rude, while his marriage to his devoted wife Alice was complicated by romantic entanglements which fired his creative energy.
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00)
PAB AGM (6 March)
Thursday 6 March in Room 25 at the Academy at 5.15 p.m.
We intend to keep the AGM short but would like to hear other views on what has happened in the last year and plans for the future. There are vacancies on the committee and new faces will be welcome.
Supper will be available after the meeting: Macaroni cheese with bacon ('the
best in Bulawayo'!) - main course only ($6.00). It MUST be ordered in advance! Followed by...
The Godfather (6 March)
Thursday 6 March in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
'The Godfather' needs no introduction - it was for a time the highest grossing picture ever made and it won three Oscars - Best Picture, Best Actor (Brando) and in the category Best Adapted Screenplay. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest films in world cinema and one of the most influential. The story spans the years 1945 to 1955 and centres on the transformation of Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) from reluctant family outsider to ruthless Mafia boss while also chronicling the family under the patriarch Vito Corleone (Brando).
"Pulp fiction raised to the highest level, a film of epic proportions, masterfully done, and set to Nino Rota's memorable music. Absolutely irresistible." [Maltin's Movie Guide ****]
[The Godfather II and The Godfather III will be shown later in the year.]
[Admission: $3.00 [free to film members]
Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia (7 March)
Friday 7 March in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.
Rossini's 'The Barber of Seville' is one of the best-known of all operas and comes in a filmed version (which has not been shown previously at the Academy) as a further tribute to Claudio Abbado who died in January "A wonderful performance, superb staging and excellent interpretations by a cast who very obviously loved what they were doing. The artists are having great fun, and that is what drives this opera." [Amazon review]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00)

Book Club @ Book Café (9 March)
We will be discussing “Small Island” by Andrea Levy, a delightfully entertaining and probing book about Jamaican immigration to Britain in the days after World War II. Andrea Levy explores black and white issues of post-war London, which include questions of class, race, and Empire. This novel is about the irony of intolerance, stereotype, and prejudice in a country that fought a war against these very issues. [Amazon]
Small Island won the Orange Prize for Fiction in 2004, the Whitbread Book of the Year in 2004 and the Commonwealth Writer's Prize in 2005.
What is the Book Club about? Books are better appreciated when we're able to share our experience of the writing through discussion and exploration of the text. We get ideas through learning from how others see the same story. At the Book Club we read an agreed book in advance and then meet at a set time to talk about it. Come along even if you haven’t read the book. Sunday, 9 March at 4pm.
Book Café, 139 Samora Machel Ave, corner 6th Street, Harare. For more information call 0864 406 6015
