The production Homebound, on stage at the Kalk Bay Kitchen and Theatre until 7 January, celebrates the magic of celebrating Christmas on homeground.

Two of South Africa’s most popular soapie stars, Quinne Brown and Anel Alexan?der (Connie and Liesl in 7de Laan) will join Kristy Suttner on stage. Diaan Lawrenson will be directing.

You’ve travelled the world. You’ve seen the bright lights of the big cities. You’ve tasted cultures and experienced the high life. But it’s holiday time, it’s Christmas time and you’re longing to come home.

We might not have chestnuts roasting on an open fire, or Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer – but bring on the soetpampoen and the waatlemoen. The endless summer days of ginger beer and seaside braais.

Homebound tells the story of three women coming home. They have been spilt up and relocated throughout the world, only one remains at home in Cape Town.

For the first time after many years, they find themselves coming home for Christmas.

It is the story of three friends rediscovering each other, and in the process discovering what it is that makes home, and especially Christmas at home, so completely magical.

From Christmas Carols to Carole King. Swing and jazz to disco. Rock ’n roll to Boeretreffers. Kool and the Gang to Boney M. Homebound blends golden oldies with local favourites. It encapsulates everything that makes for a true South African jol.

Tickets cost R165 (includes a three-course meal) and can be booked on 073 220 5430 or 021 788 7257.
