My Lover Swears: Sonnets and Song
When my lover swears that he is honest
I pretend to be fooled
Thought I know it’s not true
And now he thinks I’m unschooled ...
Step into an evening where poetry meets melody and Shakespeare is given new voice. Join acclaimed singer-songwriter Tholwana Dyosopu and celebrated poet-performer Siphokazi Jonas at Vergenoegd Löw Wine Estate for a mesmerising performance of reimagined sonnets – adapted, updated, and translated into contemporary rhythms and resonances.
The live performance will be followed by a scrumptious Cape heritage-inspired dinner, featuring the freshest of local ingredients, with fine wines by winemaker Vusi Dalicuba of Vergenoegd Löw offered at special estate prices.
The cost is R1,000 per person and includes a glass of wine on arrival, the live performance, and a three-course dinner. Additional wine will be available to purchase.
This one-night-only experience blends literature, music, and performance in a way that’s intimate, immersive, and truly unforgettable!
Tickets are limited and advance booking is essential.
Presented by Vergenoegd Löw and the Tsikinya-Chaka Centre at the University of the Witwatersrand, with additional isiXhosa translation by Sanele kaNtshingana of the University of Cape Town.
