Local comedy and tasty tapas

Top stories this week include an interview with the creative team behind the Bouwer Bosch comedy Thys & Trix, which opens in SA cinemas tomorrow.

Jessica Tennant reviews a romantic weekend at the Emily Moon River Lodge in Plett; I praise the new tapas-style eatery Upper Bloem; and Chales Siboto tackles the difficult topic of depression and how popular music is giving hope and a voice to those suffering from mental illness.

We've got tickets up for grabs to Park Acoustics featuring Freshlyground and Desmond & The Tutus and selected shows from Fokofpolisiekar's upcoming tour, enter here!
