A production of the University of the Free State’s (UFS) Department of Drama and Theatre Arts, “Spokie Snygans maak sy buiging” by Jeanne Goosen, is one of four new plays in 2009 that will again compete at the Klein Karoo National Arts Festival (KKNK) for the big Sanlam prize for Afrikaans theatre.
The department this year received R25 000 seed money for the production. Other participants that will compete for the prize are Rhodes University (for the first time) with “Die Bannelinge” by Bauke Snyman, Tshwane University of Technology with “Karakters” by Jané Dowd, and Stellenbosch University with “Die Wagkamer” by Frans Josias Hamman.
