Taylor, a hospitality-management lecturer, spent three and a half years in Romania as the culmination of her 45-year career in hospitality education. Appointed to a Romanian academy in Brasov in 2016, she arrived in Bucharest in -30 \u00b0C conditions. According to Taylor Romania and South Africa share similar political trajectories; both gained democracy recently (Romania in 1991 and South Africa in 1994) and faced similar challenges with political, financial and business restructuring, food and job shortages, and integration into international tourism markets. In Brasov she experienced snow and mountains, local customs and history, and learned much about herself and her values. She retired at 67 and now lives in Somerset West, devoting her retirement to &#8220;perfecting the art of wine and wit, and avoiding early mornings&#8221;.

This community outreach initiative provides residents with the opportunity to try directing in a supportive environment, featuring a diverse range of short plays spanning comedy, tragedy, and drama across three nights. The festival showcases both new and experienced talent from the greater Somerset West community, including the debut production from the Heydays group, a monthly theatre workshop for participants over 65 who explore performance under the guidance of professional practitioners Margot Wood and Sue Diepeveen. The cast devised and wrote their own play, representing the theatre&#8217;s commitment to engaging with audiences of all ages. Beyond the festival, The Playhouse continues its inclusive approach to theatre through relaxed performances for family shows, designed to welcome audiences with autism or learning disabilities, and is developing sensory performances for those with profound and multiple learning disabilities and pre-verbal babies. These specialised offerings reflect the theatre&#8217;s dedication to making live performance accessible to everyone in the community while maintaining high-quality productions.
