Centuries after being cast out of paradise, Adam and Eve reflect on marriage: it wasn’t easy being the original couple, you know? Everything had to be figured out for the first time: love, children, and running a household. Now that their youngest is about to leave home, Adam and Eve have only each other for company again. After much good and bad, they have one last bone to pick with each other – a comedy about growing old together, especially when one owes the other a rib.

As we get older, most people tend to (conveniently) start forgetting certain things. And it’s usually the things we don’t want to remember. The things we want to remember over time get all kinds of “embellishments”. A half-truth in the 50s becomes an accepted fact 50 years later. A shaggy-dog story gets blow-dried into a magnificent “beehive,” and a drunken “one-night stand” years later turns into a beautiful, fleeting romance.

A satirical look at being Afrikaner in the 21st century. Koegelenberg and Van Niekerk dissect the political, social, cultural, and absurd landscapes in which Afrikaners/Afrikaans speakers find themselves. From pop music to pyramid schemes, table prayers and accents – nothing here is sacred (or safe). This production is a high-octane concoction of sketches, music, dance, and parodies. Beste Van Alle Tye was nominated for Kanna Awards for Best Production: Fringe Theatre and Best Production: Comedy at the 2025 Klein Karoo National Arts Festival.
Beste Van Alle Tye was nominated at the Klein Karoo National Arts Festival in 2025 in the categories Best Production: Fringe Theatre and Best Production: Comedy, and in 2026 received the Kanna Award for Best Production: Comedy.
Geen Diagnose is a one-person show that follows the therapeutic process of five Afrikaans men. The five men are sharing their most intimate thoughts under the guise that the conversations are private. This dynamic takes a sudden turn as a crime was committed in the therapist’s office. Now their once private conversations are evidence that the therapist has to share with a detective. All six characters – the five men and the therapist – are played by Dwayne Vorster.
