Shakespeare se Romeo & Juliet word die blyspel Romeo & Johanna. ’n Nuweling-regisseur wat uitblink in eksperimentele teater, bring ’n Anglo-Boereoorlog-weergawe van dié mal musical op die planke. Maar met die kleedrepetisie loop alles skeef. Twee akteurs daag nie op nie, die verhoogbestuurder kry die intrektyd heeltemal verkeerd, en nou begin daar oor ’n halfuur ook nog ’n kerkdiens in die teater.

In this courtroom docu-opera, Dutch theatre maker Minou Bosua takes her parents to task for failing their responsibilities in raising her. To sire a child is easy; you don’t need a diploma for that. But the consequence of negligent parenting is a recipe for disaster – for both children and society. Minou raises important questions about responsible parenthood. In court, she proposes a “Parental Charter” to curb society’s “collective reproduction psychosis”. This multi-disciplinary production invites us to engage with the expectations, strengths and shortcomings of parenthood in a modern era.
