Morning Mirror is a publication run for the benefit of Bulawayo's only geriatric and frail care home - the Edith Duly Nursing home ++++ EDITORIAL Painful Parallels In 2008 we watched people getting thin. Bread was ten trillion dollars a loaf. Roller meal only available on the blackmarket. Folk would queue all night for their weekly allowance of a brick full of money.... Then we dollarised and miraculously the shelves were full again, bread was the normal worldwide price, skeletal people began to have hope and gain a few pounds in weight. Even a few rotund tummies appeared, and then wham, fourteen years on, its happening all over again... One seldom sees a pregnant woman on the streets, nature looks after its own. Suddenly stomachs are empty, the populace is losing weight, the populace is losing hope..yet again. A once bustling economy is on a parallel with 2008, yet again feeling fragile. Bread is ominously expensive and becoming beyond the grasp of the man the street. Suddenly kids are playing in the streets again instead of going to school, groups of young men are gathering on corners, looking for work Or looking for a solution A popular Reggae song is becoming popular, people are wearing a lot of yellow for some reason... It's like 2008 all over again.... ++++ Watchdog ++++ 2) Condolences/In Memoriam/Wreath Funds CONDOLENCES Geoffrey Atkins formerly ZBC/TV has passed away.

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA Antony and Cleopatra was released fifty years ago on 2 March 1972. It's an adaptation of Shakespeare's play, directed by and starring Charlton Heston. With a strong a background in Shakespeare, not to mention a larger than life screen presence, Heston fought tooth and nail to bring Antony and Cleopatra to the big screen, despite no interest from major Hollywood studios. Stepping into the director's chair for the first time, in addition, writing and starring, the star ultimately succeeded with a less than modest budget, much of it out of his own pocket, and neither he nor Hildegard Neil took their fees. - The movie is a wonderful experience of filmmaking, a true labour of love, a story of love, passion and death . Heston knows very well the Shakespeare original, and he expresses on the screen all the strength , all the fascination of the Shakespearian text . And he is superb in the title role. [IMDb] - Heston's long experience in epic movies holds him in good stead: the picture has an undeniable grandeur, while the English cast members are all excellent. [Radio Times] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 4 MARCH AT 6.30 P.M. SCHUBERT: ALFONSO UND ESTRELLA Schubert embarked on no fewer than sixteen operas in his short life, eight of which were finished but only one was staged in his lifetime. Alfonso and Estrella was completed by the end of February 1822 two hundred years ago but only first performed in 1854, long after the composer's death, when it was conducted by Franz Liszt. It is generally regarded as one of his most successful ventures into opera and contains some poignantly beautiful music as well as passages of great excitement. Schubert's biographer, Maurice J. E. Brown, remarked that 'the score contains as much fine and outstanding music as any other full length opera ever written, if we judge the score purely as music.' It comes in a performance by an all-star cast conducted by Nikolaus Harmonichord recorded in May 1997 as part of the celebrations of the 200th anniversary of Schubert's birth. - I cannot recommend too highly this profound and beautiful work. The cast here is fantastic, vocally and dramatically they are of the highest order. It would be hard to conceive of a better cast today. [Amazon] - Something delectable is always happening, some felicitous melody taking an unexpected turn. Chorus and orchestra sound luscious under the baton of Nikolaus Harnoncourt, who seems determined to find all the juicy bites of Schubert hidden in this charming, puzzling score. [Opera News] Admission: $2.00 [free to Red Carpet Members THURSDAY 10 MARCH AT 6.30 P.M. NO TIME TO DIE No Time to Die is the twenty-fifth and most recent in the James Bond series. Bond is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica after leaving active service. However, his peace is short-lived as his old CIA friend, Felix Leiter, shows up and asks for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond on the trail of a mysterious villain who's armed with a dangerous new technology. - Craig leaves the series in a mammoth, 163-minute extravaganza that audiences will be enjoying for decades. It's a lovely thing to see. [San Francisco Chronicle] - By whatever metrics you measure a Bond movie - tight plotting, gnarly villains, emotional sincerity - Craig's final outing is a rip-roaring success. [Time Out] Admission: US$2.00 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 11 MARCH AT 6.30 P.M. THE TAMING OF THE SHREW - BALLET. Jean-Christophe Maillot's inspired adaptation of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew was created for the Bolshoi in 2013. Now Maillot's own Monte Carlo Ballet bring this 'funny, fast- witted version' (The Guardian) to the screen, with a fresh and witty re-interpretation of the combative relationship between Katherine and Petruchio as they fight to find true love. - It's a fantastic ballet .. The quality of the dancing is first rate and the choreography is highly creative and brimming with sexual energy. This is the best ballet video release in years. [Amazon] - This is very accomplished and wonderfully entertaining, good acting, humour, choreography, dancing and music. Probably the best new ballet that has been seen in the last few years.
