Die Reuk van Appels
Die Reuk van Appels is the comingof-age story of Marnus Erasmus, 11-year-old son of a South African Defence Force (SADF) general.
It eloquently captures the Afrikaner mentality in the late ’70s and early ’80s and the brutal consequences of apartheid and militarisation of South African life. The show runs from tomorrow until September 24.
