Nestling in a towering Eucalyptus forest, the Paul Cluver
Forest Amphitheatre provides a unique, natural venue for an
unforgettable evening under the stars. The entire venue, from seating to
stage, has been created from timber felled on the farm. The adjoining
picnic area offers a tranquil setting for pre-performance meals,
complimented by Paul Cluver Wines.
On 28 November the season kicks off with theatre supremo and
star
presenter of Strictly Come Dancing and much loved judge of SA’s Got
Talent, master showman Ian von Memerty and his whole family in The Von
Memertys – A Celebration! It is a dazzling, full length, gorgeously
costumed show featuring Ian, Viv, his latin and ballroom champion wife
and their two children, Oscar 13, and Kasvia , 8. Ian gives a 'wry,
funny' account of his relationships - with the piano (38 years), with
Viv (19 years), with parenthood (16 years), and Showbusiness (25 years).
