André P. Brink based his play Bobaas van die Boendoe on the original JM Synge’s world-famous play Playboy of the Western world. The comedy is situated in a small community in the West-Coast.

Magriet Vlooi is supposed to marry, against her will, with Seef Stilstuipe. Her father and his two drinking buddies are on their way to the funeral, where they will down a few drinks on the memory of their poor dead friend. Seef is supposed to take care of Magriet in her loneliness that night in the shebeen. A strange little man named Kris appears in the shebeen, and they soon hear that Kris “killed” his father with a spade.

Soon Kris becomes a romantic hero, and Magriet falls madly in love with him. Weduwee Willekat’s hormone’s is awakened again, and soon all the young girls in town are there to see Kris. Magriet has to fight against the “Kieliekoekies” that bring presents for Kris, and it is clear that Kris likes their attention. To the disappointment of Seef, Kris wins Magriet’s heart, and the sports and Donkey race as well. Just as everything runs smooth, Kris’s supposed to be dead father arise from the “dead”, and the pipe dream goes up in smoke.

Romantic stories about murder are acceptable, as long as a real murder does not take place. Within this community, it is a totally different matter. In the comic scenes that follow, Kris develops from a typical nerd to a real Bobaas van die Boendoe/Playboy of the Western world.

This comedy is one of Brink’s most entertaining adaptations, in beautiful lyrical West-Coast dialect. This play promises an evening of enjoyable entertainment for the whole family, filled with comic incidents, unsuspected complications, and the touch of romance as a bonus!

This second year production, is performed from 8-11 September 2010 at 19:30 in the Scaena theatre, and is directed by Nico Luwes, bookings at Computicket.
