BOSMAN’S WOMEN
“ …a
particularly powerful piece.” Cue/Grahamstown
Festival
“Meyer’s eagerly awaited new play, Bosman’s Women, earns sustained applause. It gives a
comical, deliciously sweet taste of Bosman’s gift as
a storyteller, as well as a glimpse into the complex, controversial storyteller
himself – Herman, the man.” Judi Davis / Herald review
Directed
by Bets Basson.
Written &
produced by Barbie Meyer.
Featuring: Barbie Meyer & Lorna Burd.
Herman
Charles Bosman: Brace
yourselves for some hilarious storytelling which will make you laugh and
possibly cry. These gals will delight and surprise you with the extraordinary
life on one of
In Bosman’s Women, Barbie Meyer has
superbly captured the genius that was Herman
Charles Bosman – from a woman’s point of view.
Meyer and Burd shift effortlessly
between reality and fiction, unfolding the truth about the women in his
personal life as well as the elusive, whimsical women of his Bushveld stories. This account is a rare jewel indeed.
Witty, comical, and thought provoking, these two top class
actresses will give you a taste of this fascinating South African author’s
works as well as insight into his personal & colourful life…from the
perspective of the women themselves.
“Bosman’s Women” is directed by Bets Basson. In this show she has excelled yet again - Ms Basson helped refine the script and helped the ‘rooinek’ actresses master the distinctive flat accent of
the Groot Marico.
The result is lively and entertaining; and effectively
captures the fine sense of the bushveld characters
and – essential if one is to appreciate these particular stories – Bosman’s irony.
