Onnies en Ouers is a hilarious comedy set in the “platteland”. After their school burned down, the teachers and students of Rosendal (an all-girls English school) are relocated by the department to other accommodation. Due to confusion at the department, Rosendal ends up at Keiserkroon (an all-boys Afrikaans school), and chaos erupts. With the help of both schools’ teachers, the headmasters desperately try to keep the visiting parents (a pastor and a farmer) from discovering the truth. The whole situation turns into a battle of the sexes. After all, there is a good reason why the parents sent their children to their respective schools, and not a mixed school. However, the current dilemma is soon forgotten when news arrives that a third school is to share their facilities.
A delightful comedy in Afrikaans and English for a fun-filled evening.
