Strand: \u201cHans steek Die Rubicon Oor\u201d is op die planke by die Drama Factory<\/b> in die Asla-sakepark om 19:30 vanaand (Woensdag) en m\u00f4reaand (Donderdag). Eers was daar die topverkoperboek deur Rudi van Rensburg, toe die baie gewilde voorlesing daarvan op RSG deur Tobie Cronj\u00e9, later ook \u2019n rolprent en nou \u2019n komiese toneelstuk oor oudword op eie terme met Lizz Meiring as regisseur en Charlie Bouguenon in die hoofrol. Op 90 is Hans nog springlewendig. Sy kinders boender hom egter vanuit hul tuistes in die buiteland uit sy lekker huis in die Kaap in Huis Madeliefie in. Hans se vindingryke pogings om uit Huis Madeliefie te ontsnap, word deur sy kinders en \u2019n drakoniese matrone in die wiele gery. Maar Hans laat hom nie voorskryf nie, en sy rebelsheid het geen keer nie. Vinnig is daar groot konsternasie in die tehuis. Hans se vele, en soms verdagte, nuwe vriende sorg vir groot pret en heelwat moeilikheid. Van daggakoekies en \u2019n boeremafia tot ontkleedansers en protesaksies, word Huis Madeliefie en sy inwoners onderstebo gekeer. Hans se storie is \u2019n storie van ons tyd. Sy omstandighede is di\u00e9 van vele ouer Suid-Afrikaners wie se kinders die land verlaat het. Hans se manewales sal oud en jonk laat skaterlag. Kaartjies teen R200 is aanlyn by www.thedramafactory.co.za beskikbaar. Vir meer inligting, bel die plaaslike teater by 073 215 2290.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
