Here Be Dragons!

A Cabaret, performed by the crew of the Heraclitus, was staged at the Cape Farmhouse Restaurant called ‘ Here Be Dragons’. Inspired by the unknown beyond the ‘Edge of the sea’, as the ancient mariners called it, the show was a resounding success and gave the crew a chance to thank those who had become close friends in the community.
