Press Release

Eight women find themselves caged in a house on an isolated farm in the Karoo, busy with preparations for a delightful Christmas on the farm. After the family patriarch is “murdered” it soon becomes clear that all of them – the “victim’s wife, sister, mother- and sister-in-laws, two daughters, as well as the two house workers – have a motive, a secret: Everyone is a suspect.

The original text, Huit femmes, written by Robert Thomas, was adapted in 2002 into a successful, musical, the dark comedy film, 8 femmes.

Agt vroue is a thriller-comedy with an unexpected twist. The actors in the play are all third year drama students.
