ADVERTS TO BE SUBMITTED BY MONDAYS AT 5 P.M EDITORIAL MANGO DELIGHT There's something about eating a mango That always reminds me of home May be it's the colour That sends me straight back To sitting on the back step In the blazing sun Picking the mango strings from my teeth The fruit all squishiness in my hands And the sticky juice on my chin Rosen scolding me for ruining A perfectly clean white t-shirt And knowing she would later scrub her fingers raw to remove the stain Or perhaps it's the way they make me feel All golden, replete and happy, After I've indulged all my senses Remembering a time when I'd be Curled up in the shade of the avocado pear tree, Not a scrap of it left except the pip. Perhaps it's the women I recall With their enamel bowls in the makeshift market Outside the Bulawayo town Hall Calling one dollar for five Their baskets perfectly balanced On their white starched doek clad heads Chubby babies tied with Merlin towels To their backs In those golden years of childhood. The mango tree after the rain Droplets falling off the spear-shaped leaves The joy of growing my own Later in life. The taste as the flavour hits my palate And the scent that travels to the back of my throat and into my nose If I close my eyes while I'm savouring it I can almost imagine I am in the land where it was grown In the land where I was grown And suddenly from all the fibre of my being I am back home.

FRANKENSTEIN / YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein was first published two hundred years ago on 1 January 1818 and is celebrated with two films and a ballet! First comes the 1931 film, one of the most famous in movie history and based very loosely on the novel. Dr. Frankenstein robs bodies with the help of his hunchbacked assistant Fritz and sews the best pieces together, but he finds out that the brain he used is in fact a criminal brain and he becomes convinced that the creature should be destroyed, only for it to escape and begin wreaking havoc... 'Shocking in its day and still a genuinely creepy experience, director James Whale's primitive yet enthralling interpretation of Mary Shelley's classic tale of man playing God is the most influential genre movie ever made.' [Radio Times] In Young Frankenstein, a spoof of both Mary Shelley's gothic tale and the famous Karloff film, the grandson of Victor Frankenstein has spent his life living down the legend of his grandfather, even changing the pronunciation of his name, but when he discovers his grandfather's diary, he begins to feel differently, and returns to the family castle to satisfy his curiosity by replicating his ancestor's 'This has to be considered one of the best 'comedy classics' ever. [IMDb] Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] FRIDAY 12 JANUARY AT 7.00 P.M. FRANKENSTEIN The Royal Ballet's Artist in Residence Liam Scarlett has become known for ballets that marry highly expressive movement, sophisticated musical response and dark psychological depth. Frankenstein is his first full-length work and much more faithful than the famous film to Mary Shelley's Gothic tale of morality and the human craving for love, companionship and understanding. Master designer John Macfarlane creates sumptuous costumes that evoke the richness of early 18th-century Geneva, and a set that will astonish. 'Just watched Frankenstein on BBC4 - what a triumph! Never imagined 'Gothic horror' could be so beautiful and moving. As for the dancing - words are insufficient. Stunning! [ROH audience review] 'Totally totally amazing!!!' [Amazon] Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available from 6.00 p.m. ($10.00) THURSDAY 18 JANUARY AT 7.00 P.M. EMPIRE OF THE SUN Based on J.G. Ballard's autobiographical novel, Empire of the Sun stars Christian Bale as Jamie Graham, a spoiled young British boy, living with his wealthy family in pre-World War II Shanghai. During the Japanese invasion, Jamie is separated from his parents but with the help of soldier-of-fortune Basie (John Malkovich), he learns to survive without a retinue of servants at his beck and call. By the time Jamie and Basie are tossed into a Japanese prison camp, the boy has picked up enough street-smarts and developed enough fortitude to regard his imprisonment as an exciting adventure. 'This is the best film I have seen this year. Perhaps the best in several years ' [New York Times] 'A film that verges on greatness.' [Apollo Guide] Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] FRIDAY 19 JANUARY AT 7.00 P.M. ROSSINI: ADELAIDE DI BORGOGNA 'It can be truly said of Adelaide di Borgogna that, like a rose, it bloomed but a day - l'espace d'un matin' was Rossini's wry comment on his opera first performed two years ago on 27 December 1817 and rarely heard thereafter. In 2011 the Rossini Festival in Pesaro presented only the second staged performance since 1825. The story of the opera was takes place in the medieval period as, caught between political rivalry and the love of two men, Adelaide of Burgundy struggles to fight for her people and save her kingdom. 'Scrumptious production: I spent half of my time admiring the costumes and the setting: Scrumptious singing. Gorgeous music. Nothing negative to report. Loved it!'
