Siener in die suburbs gaan oor die lief en leed van 'n groepie
mense wat al volkskarakters geword het. Jakes wat so graag 'n
laaitie wil he, Tiemie wat oor haar tyd is, Tjokkie wat met die
helm gebore is, Giel en Ma wat in sonde saamleef. Hulle bly aan die
verkeerde kant van die spoor; mense van wie daar "nie geweet" word
nie.

Translated by Constance Garnett Three Plays" "by Turgenev
includes A Month in the Country, " "A Provincial Lady and" "A Poor
Gentleman.
Turgenev wrote" "A Month in the Country in France between 1848
and 1850. Published in 1855 and first staged in 1872 the plot
revolves around Natalya Petrovna, the 29-year-old wife of older
landowner Arkadi Islaev. Set in Islaev's country estate in the
1840s the play pivots around the character of Natalya and her
pursuit of attention, first from Mikhailo Rakitin and then with
handsome young Aleksei Belyaev, her son's tutor. Problems arise
when Vera, her 17-year-old foster daughter, also falls in love with
Aleksei. Exploring themes of love, jealousy, rivalry and ennui A
Month in the Country is just one example of Turgenev's
brilliance.
A Provincial Lady, written in 1851, was a comedy in one act. As
Richard Freeborn wrote in 1994, 'Turgenev's comedy has often been
called Chekhovian, even though it preceded Chekhov's mature work by
more than forty years'.
A Poor Gentleman (1840s) was a two-act play whose themes were
compared to the works of Nikolai Gogol, a writer that Turgenev
greatly admired and was influenced by. It was for writing an
obituary for Gogol that Turgenev found himself arrested and
imprisoned for a month, having managed to publish the obituary
despite its being banned by the censor.
I board a plane marked with the swastika and take the noon postal
service flight from Stockholm to Berlin. In the final days of World
War II, a secret meeting takes place between a member of the World
Jewish Congress and one of the most powerful Nazis in Germany -
without the knowledge of the Fuhrer. Dr Felix Kersten, Himmler's
trusted personal physiotherapist, uses his unique position of
influence to facilitate a meeting between the architect of the
Holocaust and Swedish Jew Norbert Masur. A meeting which could turn
Himmler's thoughts away from the fading Fuhrer and towards a course
of action that could save thousands of lives. With battle lines
crumbling and lives in the balance, the two men must try to find a
way to persuade Himmler to release the last surviving concentration
camp prisoners contrary to Hitler's orders that no Jew should
outlast the regime. Based on a remarkable true story, Ben Brown's
The End of the Night opened at The Park, London, in April 2022.
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.
