Wisselwerk

The connection between the world of books and the world of theatre has resulted in groundbreaking work on stage. This year, the flow also goes the other way, with Willem Anker’s novella Patmos—originally written as a theatre script – making its debut. Kabous Meiring chats with Anker, Nagtegaal Text Prize winner Dianne du Toit Albertze (Huis van sand), playwright Jolyn Phillips (Kompoun) and Ingrid Winterbach (Moedswil en muitery) about the exciting challenges of writing for the stage, how it differs from writing books, and how these two creative worlds enrich and inspire each other.
