Wenner van die Woordveertjie vir beste dramateks in 2021.
Die stuk oor drie geslagte is gebaseer op die 17de eeuse slavin in Karel Schoeman se Armosyn van die Kaap, senaatsdebatte van Piet Odendaal in die 1970's, en die geskiedenis van die Odendaal-familie in Suid-Afrika.
Dit ondersoek onder andere die gevolge van intergenerasie-trauma en die spanning tussen Westerse psigiatrie en Afrika-spiritualiteit.
Die drama speel af in die Karoodorpie Willowmore. Die rol van die kerk, verkragting, verlies en familie is van die temas wat aangeraak word.
Lekas kyk na 'n kind se weerloosheid en na die familie se verantwoordelikheid om na haar om te sien. Die watermeid (waternimf of meermin) is die mitiese figuur wat tot die dorpie se redding moet kom en drie kinders in die stuk hoop sy sal hulle kom red.
Dit raak egter gekompliseerd wanneer die skuldige persoon 'n belangrike figuur in die gemeenskap is - die dominee.
What happens when a Rangers fan and Celtic fan are locked in a
prison cell together on the day of an Old Firm Match? It is through
Billy and Tim that Des Dillon explores sectarianism, bigotry, how
it becomes part of one's identity and is inculcated by family and
society. However, the book is not limited to Scotland but refers to
every peace process in the world, where common ground and a shared
humanity is found through responding to the needs of others. Now it
is up to these two fans to start their personal peace process to
find some common ground to slowly let go of their bigotry.
This collection brings together three international and
contemporary plays that each denounce violence against women,
alongside interviews with the creators and practitioners who
brought them to life. With interviews with writers, directors and
producers, who discuss the conception and staging of their plays,
their hope is to de-glamourize the staging of violence, to give
voice to the survivors of gendered violence, and to create
awareness and empathy within the audiences. Little Stitches
(London, 2014): four short pieces by Isley Lynn, Raul Quiros Molina
, Bahar Brunton and Karis E. Halsall on the issue of Female Genital
Mutilation as seen from the point of view of by-standers, health
professionals, women who support the practice and, finally,
survivors. 'Kubra' (Sydney, 2016) by Dacia Maraini, features a
young female protagonist who was subjected to FGM/C as a child, and
now brings her case to court. Rape Trial (Rome, 2018), adapted for
theatre by Renato Chiocca from the international award-winning
documentary of the same title made for Italian state television in
1979, shows how attitudes toward sexual violence, and judicial
procedures, tend to turn rape survivors from accusers into accused,
in court and in everyday discourse.

Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life!
Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the
dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name?
I have given you my soul; leave me my name! In a small tight-knit
community, gossip and rumour spread like wildfire, inflaming
personal grievances until no-one is safe from accusation and
vengeance. The Crucible is Arthur Miller's classic dramatisation of
the witch-hunt and trials that besieged the Puritan community of
Salem in 1692. Seen as a chilling parallel to the McCarthyism and
repressive culture of fear that gripped America in the 1950s, the
play's timeless relevance and appeal remains as strong as when the
play opened on Broadway in 1953. This new edition includes an
introduction by Soyica Diggs Colbert, that explores the play's
production history as well as the dramatic, thematic, and academic
debates that surround it; a must-have resource for any student
exploring The Crucible.
