In sel nommer 2 is ’n gevangene wat verkies om naamloos te bly, want hy wil nie op die 28’s se nommer trap nie. Maar sy ma hét hom ’n naam gegee: Asher. Sy het gehoop dat dramaskool hom uit die siklus van ongeletterdheid en armoede sou laat ontsnap. Maar soms het die kosmos ander planne, en neem mens deur ’n wentelbaan van 360 grade op ’n reis van vreugde, vrees, verwerping, halstarrigheid en tronkstraf.

In fear of stepping out of line with the “numbers” gang, the inmate in cell number two keeps his real name a secret. But his mother had given him a name at birth: Asher. She hoped that drama school would free him from a cycle of illiteracy and poverty. But sometimes the universe has other plans, taking one in full orbit on a journey of joy, fear, rejection, rebellion and a term in jail.

Hierdie komedie speel agter die verhoog van ’n kindertoneelstuk af waar drie akteurs spook met die produksie self én hul eie eksistensiële krisisse. Soos die toneelstuk aangaan, kry die gehoor ’n blik agter die skerms terwyl die akteurs spartel met woorde, rekwisiete en oorywerige gehoorlede. Ook met hul eie tekortkominge, nie net in die toneelstuk nie, maar in die lewe.

Een baas. Drie werkers. Een word vandag afgedank. Bitter baie boelie en baklei lei tot ’n wrede geveg. Hierdie donker komedie ondersoek die fyn lyn tussen kantoorpolitiek, die paranoia van werkloosheid en die mens se dierlike instink vir oorlewing. Katterig en ongevraagd, maar ook snaaks – al lag ons miskien vir die verkeerde redes.

This dark comedy explores the fine line between office politics, paranoia about becoming jobless and survival instinct. Spiteful and uncalled for, but also funny – even if you chuckle for all the wrong reasons.

Tiaan en Egbert word op die eerste repetisiedag van ’n nuwe stuk deur hul teksskrywer in die steek gelaat. Dinge raak rof soos die akteurs planne beraam om uit hul verknorsing te kom. Hulle probeer self skryf, maar met gemengde welslae en histeriese gevolge. Idees oor improvisasie help ook min. Hoe later, hoe desperater. In hul frenetiese geskarrel om skeppend te wees, word die gehoor getrakteer op die storie agter hul stories. Geen teks bekyk daai oomblikke wanneer daar niks is om te sê nie …

On the first day of rehearsing for their new stage production, Tiaan and Egbert are left in the lurch by their scriptwriter. As the actors make plans to resolve the situation, things get tough. They try to create a text themselves, but the results are miserable and hilarious. Ideas for improvisation are equally dismal. They are in dire straits. With the actors scattering around frenetically, the audience is entertained on the story behind their stories. This comedy sketch explores the things we want to say and those we prefer to rather not say.

Heather haat pouse. Want al is sy die uitbundige dux-leerder, is sy bruin. En dis ’n wit, plattelandse skool. Dit verander egter gou wanneer Gideon in die skool kom. Nie net het Heather nou iemand om pouses by te staan nie, maar ’n kameraad met ’n gemeenskaplike doel: om eendag ’n dokter te word. Skoolkinders het groot drome, maar hoe word ’n lugkasteel bo gehou in ’n land waar onregverdigheid en regverdigheid so eenders lyk? En wat gebeur as ons grootword en vergeet om na die sterre te kyk?

Maar die pêrels word jaloers bewaak deur die vurige Gadija en Boeta Char, ’n bendelid, en dit is in die tande van afgestorwenes. ’n Komiese maar bittersoet worsteling met verlies, rou, ontkenning en hoop.

Wilma en Jasmyn is TV-sjefs en glanspersoonlikhede wat voorheen die toppunt van roem gesmaak het. In ’n poging om dié twee se tanende loopbane te red, kom hul agente met die idee vorendag dat die twee saam ’n kookprogram moet aanbied. Enigste probleem: hulle haat mekaar, maar hulle haat hul tanende gewildheid meer. Waar daar ’n wil is, is daar egter ’n weg en in die geval van twee ysere wille, een smalle weg. Cameron, die regisseur, is die een in die spervuur as die divas se geveinsde gemoedelikheid begin verdwyn soos die program vorder.

1938. ’n Teatergeselskap onder leiding van die befaamde Dante du Pré bevind hulle tydens die Depressie in ’n klein dorpie in die hoop om verligting te bring met ’n opvoering. Ook om hul leë geldkoffers aan te vul. Een van die spelers, die jonge Abel, kom oorspronklik van die dorp en is steeds getroud met die stinkryk en heelwat ouer Anna. Maar sy liewe Lenie verwag nou sy kind. Hierdie bittersoet komedie uit die pen van Reza de Wet is nog net so tersaaklik in vandag se tyd, met ’n tuimelende ekonomie in die nasleep van Covid-19.

1938. A theatre troupe led by the famous Dante du Pré visits a small town during the Great Depression, hoping to lift the townspeople’s spirit with their play. Also, to fill their very empty coffers. One of the actors, the young Abel, still married to the wealthy and much older Anna, originally hails from the town. But his beloved Lenie is pregnant with his child. This bittersweet comedy by Reza de Wet is as relevant in today’s world with its tumbling economy in the wake of Covid-19, as when it made its debut years ago.

Her baby Roxanne, in search of her roots, is in the process of opening a hair salon. Debbie pleads with everyone to embrace their natural selves. Three characters on a journey of renewal, repentance and new beginnings.

’n Akkerboom is ’n buitengewone produksie; tydens elke vertoning betree ’n ander akteur of aktrise saam met die hipnotiseur die verhoog om die pa te vertolk, sonder dat hulle ’n woord van die teks gelees het. ’n Absurde toneelstuk oor vertolking, verlies en die krag wat in woorde of suggestie opgesluit lê.

’n Akkerboom is an extraordinary production. With each performance, a different actor – male or female – joins the hypnotist on stage to play the father, without having read a word of the text. An absurd play about interpretation, loss and the power of words and suggestion.

Michelle Martin, vrou en medepligtige van die kinderverkragter en
-moordenaar Marc Dutroux, word deur die media bestempel as die “mees gehate vrou in België”. Met haar vrylating ná 16 jaar in die tronk is dié skrikwekkende misdade van die vroeë 1990’s weer hoofnuus. Hierdie drama verken die omstandighede van Martin, haar lewe lank self ’n slagoffer van emosionele en fisieke geweld. Gebaseer op Kristien Hemmerechts se opspraakwekkende roman.

Michelle Martin, wife and accomplice of child rapist and murderer Marc Dutroux, is dubbed “the most hated woman in Belgium”. About to be released from prison after serving a 16-year sentence, news reports rehash the horrific events that shook the world in the early 1990s. This drama explodes on the stage with a tale of domestic violence that went undetected until it was too late. Based on Kristien Hemmerechts’ best-selling novel.

’n Plekspesifieke ingrypingskuns-vertoning wat korte mette maak van patriargie, veral in die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks. Twee vroue daag onderdrukking uit en krap die verskille in hul onderskeie kulture oop totdat hulle ’n ruimte vind waar hulle hul vryheid en mag kan terugneem. Dit is hier waar genesing plaasvind.
