The play is both hilarious and heart breaking as it takes us
through the changing lives of Robert and Hilary Travers a couple of
ex academics in retirement as they embark on a study of marriage in

South Africa, 2019. Twenty-five years since the first post-apartheid
democratic elections, two men from contrasting walks of life are thrust
together to reflect on a quarter-century of change. Jack Morris is a
celebrated classical actor who has just been given both a
career-defining role and a life-changing diagnosis. Besides his age,
Jack has seemingly little in common with his at-home nurse Lunga
Kunene, but the two men soon discover their shared passion for
Shakespeare, which ignites this ‘rich, raw and shattering head-to-head’
(The Times).
Written by South African actor, activist and playwright John Kani, this
refreshingly funny and vital new play premiered in the Swan Theatre,
Stratford-upon-Avon in 2019, before transferring to the Ambassadors
Theatre in London. A co-production with the Fugard Theatre, it
was directed by Janice Honeyman with moving performances from Antony
Sher and John Kani.
Drie hopies grond van drie grafte en die drie mense aan wie die
grafte behoort: Vytjie, Basjan en Gulu. Elkeen moet vertel hoe hy

byeenkoms na die dood. Sy behartig die post mortem. Hoe het dit
gebeur dat haar man, haar huiswerker en plaaswerker dood is? In
hierdie drama deur Pieter Fourie moet Basjan, Vytjie en Gulu aan
Trien vertel en demonstreer wat gelei het tot hul dood. Dit word
duidelik dat Trien se pienk pilletjies haar blind gemaak het vir
die dinge wat rondom haar gebeur ...
