2013’s Honours students of the Drama Department at the University of the Free State proudly presents one of the best comedies in Afrikaans namely: Bartho Smit 's Don Juan onder die boere, directed by Gerben Kamper .

Don Juan onder die boere (1958) would have been performed, under the author's direction, by NTO (National Theatre Organisation) for the opening of the Civic Theatre in Bloemfontein in 1959. The Bloemfontein Drama Committee however cancelled the performance of this production at the last minute because ‘the play would have been inappropriate for the opening event, presumably because of the castration scene (Smit. 1984:28)’.

It pokes fun at the domination of women over their husbands in a world where males think they are the cocks of the walk. Funfilled traditional Afrikaner entertainment where “man” becomes “mouse” and “mouse” becomes “man”!

As Uncle Tienie says: “We live in a woman’s world! Who brought you into this world? The woman. Who raised you? The woman.  And for what? To work for her, to dance to her tune, to help her to bring more men into the world to work for her and dance to her tune!!! "

Entertainment of the highest order!

Don Juan onder die boere will be performed in the Scaena Theatre from 7 - 9 November at 19h30
