Outodidak will be presented at the Artscape Arena from 8 to
24 October and is a satirical work that plays havoc with the pretensions
of “self-realisation” and the self-appointed “pop life-philosophers” of
our time. Lubbe, an orphan who has become extremely wealthy cannot
sleep. Yvette, his wife, makes an appointment for him with Stols, a
smooth salesman, who becomes a specialist guru on demand.
The play is directed by well-known Afrikaans writer and
director, Gideon van Eeden and stars Jeroen Kranenburg, Geon Nel and
Bronwyn van Graan. Designs are by Dicky Longhurst with lighting design by
Kobus Rossouw.
