Uilvrou

Die verhaal van Helen Martins is nagevors, geskryf en word vertolk deur Marlene Zwiegers. Musiek is gekomponeer deur Francois le Roux en die tjello musiek, voer jou verder mee na Helen se ongelooflike wêreld van haar eie. Die beelde wat jou op 'n visuele toer neem is ook deur Francois le Roux gedoen....en dit dans letterlik en figuurlik saam met die storie en musiek!

"Definitief 'n toneelstuk wat gesien moet word deur elke Suid-Afrikaner wat lief is vir teater en wat dit interessant vind om meer uit te vind oor ons fassinerende mense"- Neda Sichone.
