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 South Africa’s finest literary masters: Herman Charles Bosman.

 

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.
