SUZANNE'S WORLD

SUZANNE'S WORLD is the new all-encompassing umbrella for features, blogs and interviews either new or archived on my website. It is also the new home of what was Melville News.

Actors, musicians, friends and professional colleagues all Friends, colleagues, international actors and musicians all are part of the rich tapestry of Suzanne's World...Above: The pin board in my office is a collage of of my world...

For a long time I've been searching for a name that immediately conveys, but doesn't limit, the scope of editorial content I publish on my website. As simple a task as one may think it to be, I have rejected every suggestion for not meeting those criteria. "What's in a name?" asked more than one friend, echoing Juliet in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. ("What's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smells as sweet," says Juliet in a passage reflecting her wishful thinking.)

As Juliet discovered, there's a lot in a name, and in my case, the perfect solution wasn't presenting itself. Suzanne's World is an honest and broad attempt to to capture the spirit of this page. As the pin board reveals, in my case it is a personal if somewhat random collection of people and places in my professional and private life, which is intended to be symbolic.

It is here too where colleagues and friends will be encouraged to share their original, thought-provoking and entertaining words to engage readers old and new.

And now that I have settled on Suzanne's World, I hope to give up stressing about names and to get on with the writing. I'm working towards forming partnerships with other sites, which will provide yet more options for the short-attention-span age in which we find ourselves.

I'm happy to say that the launch of this new segment coincides with a feature and an extended paragraph (I'm being facetious) from John Miller, an old friend and colleague who lives in Wales... but let him tell his own stories.

Welcome to my world.

IS DANYLE MELVILLE’S UNSUNG HERO?

14th November 2015 By Suzanne Brenner

IS DANYLE MELVILLE’S UNSUNG HERO?

Meet Danyle Nunes, the new intern of ER24. With his long-held ambition to work as a paramedic edging closer to fruition, Danyle briefly allows himself to think ahead, something he rarely does. More comfortable in the present, Danyle is better known as the chairman of the SCF (the Sector Crime Forum) and as the eyes and ears of […]

NEW DESIGNERS ARRIVE IN CONVOY

OSCAR’S FATE HANGS IN THE BALANCE

20th August 2015 By Suzanne Brenner

The Pistorius family will have to wait a little longer for their prodigal son to return to the fold, as his much anticipated release tomorrow has been stalled for up to four months while the parole board reviews his case. This announcement followed what seemed like an 11th hour intervention by the Justice and Correctional Services Minister, Michael Masutha, […]

THE MRA INJECTED WITH NEW LIFE

10th August 2015 By Suzanne Brenner

AGMs don’t usually attract crowds let alone on a cold Johannesburg night. For a change and for change, the MRA AGM on August 6 was well attended by the people of Melville determined to make a difference. It was a lively occasion, as far as these things go. Opening the meeting, one of the co-chairmen […]
