The Drama Department at Stellenbosch University is presenting a new production of the classic play Yerma! This exciting production may be seen from 23-25 and 28-31 August, as well as 1 September 2012 every evening at 20:00 at the HB Thom Theatre. The original text was written by the renowned Spanish playwright Federico Garcia Lorca and transalted into Afrikaans by Uys Krige. It is directed by the award-winning Juanita Swanepoel.
The main character in the drama, Yerma, longs with her heart and soul to have a baby and lives in a society that worships fertility. Her tired husband Juan spends most of his time alone on the farm and does not support Yerma, to the detriment of his marriage. This mutual blunting of communication leads to Yerma doubting herself, Juan and even the joy of living.

En ek beaam AdK se kommentaar met passie! Miskien moet ons net versigtig wees met ons definisie van “geldmorsery”. Die teaterliefhebbers onder ons is nie dalk maar ‘n baie klein persentasietjie nie?
Yerma!!! Dankie!!! Waarom kan ons nie meer van hierdie tipe klassieke stukke in die HB Thom te siene kry nie? Dis ‘n besondere, maar onder-gebruikte teater-ruimte! Gee die HB ASSEBLIEF tog terug aan ons dorp!!! As hierdie teater ‘n ‘rehab’ kort, waarom kan onnodige eet-geleenthede en soortgelyke beeldpoetsery en geldmorsery op kampus nie eerder gelos word en die geld gebruik word om die HB Thom-teater te help waar nodig nie? Dis te duur om Artscape en Baxter toe te ry – gee asb tog hierdie teater terug aan die dorp! Waar’s die goeie ou dae van reekskaartjie en ‘n hele reeks goeie teaterstukke elke jaar???
