DIE REUK VAN APPELS
DIE REUK VAN APPELS, based on the acclaimed 1993 debut novel of South African author Mark Behr, is the coming-of-age story of Marnus Erasmus, the eleven-year-old son of a South African Defence Force general. It eloquently captures the Afrikaner mentality in the late 1970s and early 1980s and the brutal consequences of apartheid and militarisation of South African life. Presented by Theatrerocket Productions, Johann Smith's stage adaptation of the novel stars Gideon Lombard and is directed by Lara Bye. The production premiered at the Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees (KKNK) this year, with Lombard winning the Best Actor Award at the 2017 Kanna Awards for his role as Marnus. A seasoned and popular stage actor, he makes his debut performance in a solo play with DIE REUK VAN APPELS. Lombard, also a talented musician, is further responsible for the production's sound design, with lighting design handled by Kosie Smit.
