Park Theatre January 2016 'Still water, deep ground, and underneath the Devil is turning around'. Reza De Wet's Gothic style play provides a disturbing metaphoric look at the Afrikaner psyche. Frikkie and Sussie were born into a South African Eden, an idyllic farm with loving and responsible parents, a black nanny who looked after them. But that was decades ago. Now their parents are long gone, the farm a desolate ruin and god has clearly forgotten them. |
