DAWN LINDBERG

'This land is your land
This land is my land
This land belongs to you and me'

It was a historic year in South Africa when television was launched. Soweto went up in flames. In June 1976 the Soweto Uprising which was the loudest fight was about language (even though the issue of land was a subtext). There weren't any loud political slogans about land but Des Lindberg strummed his guitar and Dawn Lindberg with her bright eyes, cheery smile frolicked along singing, 'This land is your land, this is my land and this land belongs to you and me', without the Nationalist government silencing them from singing a song that Dawn in later years said was in opposition to everything that the apartheid government stood for but that the government did not understand the song.

Dawn Lindberg fought apartheid through song and her passionate believe that theatre would always remain one of South Africa's greatest uniting forces. Her early production of Godspell was banned by the Nationalist government because of its multi-racial casting. It didn't deter Dawn from staging the show. She took it across the border to a neighbouring State.

The defiant Dawn Lindberg always wanted theatre to be open to all races. In the 70's and 80's she opened her Houghton home for soirees; and whilst the audiences may have been mainly White not through any forced restrictions by Dawn there was no doubt that Dawn launched many careers of Black, White, Coloured and Indian artists from her home.

Dawn Lindberg - along with Des Lindberg - were beacons of hope for South African theatre. They were strong voices against censorship. Their contributions to anti-censorship and non-racism in theatre is written in the history books of South African theatre; but unfortunately some day this contribution that they made may fade from the pages of history books because history gets written for successive generations by those who wish to tell it their way.

Dawn channeled the Naledi Theatre Awards through stormy seas. It wasn't just about fighting criticism from those who hadn't been nominated or won awards - or who were upset because they were not given a front row VIP seat at the awards ceremony - it was also about fighting her jury and the Naledi Theatre board about decisions they'd taken. She was also in the frontlines when it was necessary to fight the past and the current government to give the arts the recognition that it deserves.

The Naledi Theatre Awards will never ever be the same again. There will be no Dawn in her flowing red dress. There'll be no Dawn Lindberg whose beautiful teeth will smile like pearls. There'll be no Dawn Lindberg whose bright cheery eyes will set our heartbeats racing. There'll be no Dawn Lindberg who amongst her thousand pearls of wisdom will say the one unfortunate thing that will get us talking in corridors and social media for weeks on end. There isn't a force in South African theatre at the moment that was as great as Dawn Lindberg. It will take many giants to rise next year to make the Naledi Theatre Awards happen with the same amount of finesse, grace, controversy, bitter gossip and joyful celebration which was what made the Awards an extension of what theatre ought to be -- no simple story with predictable endings.

Dawn's untimely passing was also not predictable. News of her death from a Covid-19 related illness spread like wildfire on social media from the early hours of this morning with tributes pouring in from across this land that is your land; that is my land.

From wherever her soul will soar and from whichever skies the stars still twinkle the brightest amongst those stars in the night skies will be the star in the red dress dancing royally amongst the stars that Dawn has so passionately nurtured. There is hardly a star today in our industry that doesn't twinkle with sorrow. There is hardly a star who wouldn't want our theatres to re-open. If there is now going to be one celestial being that will fight Covid-19 and knock it in the bud so that it gets itself out of this land that is your land that is my land it better be Dawn Lindberg.

We salute you, Dawn Lindberg. Find your journey amongst amongst the stars; and we shall always look up to the night sky searching out for you.

Ismail Mahomed, former chief executive officer at the Market Theatre Foundation,

THURSDAY 17 DECEMBER AT 5.30 P.M. COPYING BEETHOVEN - A FILM STARRING ED
HARRIS & DIANE KRUGER Carriages: 7.30 p.m.
N.B. NO subtitles
Anna Holtz (Diane Kruger), a student at the Vienna Music Conservatory, eagerly accepts an assignment to work as a copyist for Beethoven (Ed Harris). The temperamental maestro develops a growing affection for his new companion, but she has plans to marry her long-time beau.
- In "Copying Beethoven" Ed Harris proves an ideal substitute for the deaf, brooding composer, acting with a violent turbulence that sometimes floods the room. [New York Times]
- Winning originality, exhilarating. Ed Harris is fascinating to watch.
[[Sight and Sound]
- Powerful, an emotional journey. [Classic FM Magazine]
- Thrillingly good. [Mail on Sunday]
- A film that sounds as good as it looks. [Evening Standard]
Admission: US$1.00 [free to Film Members]
FRIDAY 18 DECEMBER AT 5.30 P.M. MUSIC BY BEETHOVEN Carriages: 8.00 p.m.

The programme begins with the "Coriolan" Overture followed by the Triple Concerto with a "dream team including pianist Martha Argerich, violinist Renaud Capucon and cellist Gautier Capucon, After the interval, what is perhaps the most famous of all Beethoven's works, the Ninth Symphony in a performance by Daniel Barenboim and his West-Eastern Divan Orchestra.
- The opening Beethoven Triple Concerto was a wonder to hear and behold.
The virtuosity of Martha Argerich, the Capucon brothers, Gustavo Dudamel and his youthful Simon Bolivar Orchestra was truly amazing. Beethoven's masterpiece has never sounded so good! [Amazon]
- The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra's performance is a formidable achievement and one which grows in authority as it progresses. Barenboim's finale has tremendous sense of occasion and is as moving as any I've heard.
[Musicweb International]
- There are wonderful things here, such as the explosive crest of the first moment, the way the curtain lifts on the Adagio, gradually and serenely, the distant, hymn-like entrance of the basses as the 'Ode to Joy' theme wafts in
[Gramophone]
Admission: US$1.00 [free to Red Carpet members]
WEDNESDAY 23 DECEMBER AT 5.30 P.M. SCROOGE Carriages: 7.45 p.m.
The spirit of Christmas becomes a musical celebration of life in this rousing adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Mean-spirited and stingy, Ebenezer Scrooge has a sour face and a 'humbug' for anyone who crosses his path. But on this Christmas Eve, he will learn the terrible fate that awaits him if he continues his miserly ways. Filled with joyous songs, this delightful tale has enriched the lives of young and old alike for generations.

The umpteenth musical version of A Christmas Carol, Scrooge is blessed with several sprightly Leslie Bricusse songs, including the bona fide hit Thank You Very Much. Buried under mounds of latex, Albert Finney is perfection itself as Ebenezer Scrooge, proving as effective as a young (un-made up) man as the old skinflint we've grown to love. The Three Ghosts who turn the miserly Scrooge's life around on Christmas Eve are portrayed by Edith Evans (Past), Kenneth More (Present) and Paddy Stone (Yet to Come) and also notable among the huge, predominantly British supporting cast is Sir Alec Guinness as a fussy, slightly effeminate Marley's Ghost. Best of all, Finney performs his many songs 'live' and not lip-synched to a pre-recording.
Scrooge is more than satisfactory Yuletide entertainment.
- This is BY FAR the best movie about Scrooge you will ever see! The music is OVER THE MOON FANTASTIC...the story impeccably told...the acting by Albert Finney...Oscar worthy... [Amazon]
- This film is an underrated classic family musical. In the spirit and tradition of Oliver! and My Fair Lady, with an energetic memorable score and an eclectic cast all on top form. Sir Alec Guinness, Dame Edith Evans and the wonderful Kenneth Moore support magnificently. Moore in one of the last roles before his untimely death, clearly enjoying hamming it up as the ghost of Christmas Present carrying the miserable Scrooge along for the ride of his life whilst singing 'I like life!' is a joy to see. But Finney's performance is the standout. [IMDb]
Finney's performance as cold-hearted Scrooge is a professional high-water mark. [Variety]Full Review
- Director Ronald Neame's well-paced film captures the period beautifully, and the acting is superb, with Finney and Alec Guinness, as Marley's ghost, real standouts. [TV Guide]
Admission: US$1.00 [free to Film Members]

THURSDAY 24 DECEMBER AT 5.30 P.M. THE NUTCRACKER / 7.30 P.M. KING'S
COLLEGE CAROLS Carriages: 7.15 p.m. (Nutcracker) / 8.45 (King's)
In the Royal Ballet's 2000 production of Tchaikovsky's ballet, with Anthony Dowell as Herr Drosselmeyer and Alina Cojocaru as Clara, Tchaikovsky's unforgettable score combines with the magical choreography inspired by Lev Ivanov in an atmosphere of fantasy and the supernatural. Hoffman's Christmas story unfolds with breath-taking splendour and beauty in the most festive and enduring of all ballets.
After a short break there will be a traditional service of lessons and carols from King's College, Cambridge.
Admission to both or either is US$1.00 [free to Red Carpet members]!
- Peter Wright's production is gloriously traditional, brilliantly choreographed, lavishly spectacular...The camera is always in the right place and Tchaikovsky's miraculously inspired score, of which one never tires, is marvellously played... [The Penguin Guide]
- Peter Wright's traditional production of The Nutcracker is lovely Christmas stuff, with lots of tutus and tiaras. [The Mail on Sunday]
- This is about as good as it gets. This is THE best Nutcracker I have found. You have everything and Anthony Dowell as well. The Sugar Plum Fairy is just superb and the whole story is told in full with all the characters fully represented. Principle dancers are all absolutely faultless. I loved every minute and I just don't think it is possible to better this. [Amazon]
- One almost feels privileged to watch... guaranteed to get you in the mood for Christmas. [Classic FM]
- Perhaps the finest Christmas choral performances ever recorded on DVD.
The Chapel exhibits gorgeous Pre-Reformation beauty especially in the candle light, matched by the outstanding singing of the choir. Stunning views of the rare fan vaulted roof. Classic and elegant. [Amazon]

TO ALL WHO REMEMBER MY MUM .... DOT CHISHOLM

My lovely Mum Dot, sadly passed away in Farnborough, Hampshire England, on Wednesday 2nd December 2020, eight days before her 100th Birthday.
Before my parents left Bulawayo to come and live in the UK in 2004, Dot worked at Patterson's Pharmacy and later at Highfield Pharmacy. All her customers were extremely special to her and she loved her work.
Although life in the UK was good to my parents, mum always longed for her beloved Bulawayo.
She will be sadly missed. God bless you all.
