A study edition of Twelfth Night, featuring facing notes,
activities, text graded by importance and illustrations.
Naelstring belig die problematiek van transformasie in ’n nuwe
Suid-Afrika en die soms fanatieke eise van swart bemagtiging. Die
drama sentreer rondom ’n moeder wat weier om haar pasgebore baba se
naelstring te knip. Die baba is egter nie bereid om die absurde
situasie gelate te aanvaar nie en neem sy gehoor op ’n reis van
swart komedie en deernisvolle maar pynlike interaksie. Pieter
Fourie, dramaturg en dramaveteraan, is waarskynlik die enigste
Suid-Afrikaanse kunstenaar wat diep spore as toneelspeler,
regisseur, artistieke direkteur en skrywer getrap het. Met
Naelstring deurbreek die bekroonde dramaturg Pieter Fourie opnuut
die grense van sy oeuvre.

his ample supply of drugs and alcohol. Jez Butterworth's new play
