The critically acclaimed play THE PARROT WOMAN written by Charles J. Fourie returns to the stage at the new Rosebank Theatre in Cape Town after more than two decades since its first performances at the Market theatre in the early 1990s.
The bitter sweet love story has seen over fifteen different
productions with various actors over the years winning a 'pick of the fringe' award at the Grahamstown Arts festival, and was last staged in London at the Finborough Theatre, and also at the Burton Taylor Studio in Oxford.
Actors Leonard Moss and Adri Van der Hoven now take the roles of the British soldier who guards a Boer woman held captive in a concentration camp for the murders of her husband and children in this thought provoking play.
Set against the backdrop of the Anglo Boer war of the previous century the play explores the ravaging effects war has on the individual, and also brings the very contemporary issue of family murders under the spotlight.
In an attempt to reveal the truth surrounding the mystery of the parrot woman the soldier falls haplessly in love with her in a game of ritual and escapism, and what is revealed in the powerful and touching ending impacts on both their lives.
