"I felt that this Veld Maiden thing was not a fit subject to talk about, especially with a woman present. Morever, it was Sunday." Herman Charles Bosman
Bosman’s Veld Maiden is an intoxicating blend of humour, irony & wit.
Alluring Marico ghosts, countless bottles of mampoer and elusive romances – both funny and enthralling - this is undoubtedly South African storytelling at its best! Herman Charles Bosman’s hilarious stories are brought to life by the comical veld maiden herself – Barbie Meyer.
This is Meyer’s 4th show on Herman Charles Bosman’s work and as with her previous shows; she has been able to bring to life a balanced and highly palatable assortment of this famous author’s short stories, essays and poetry. Tasty titbits about Bosman’s Bohemian and rather controversial life have been woven into the work and the show is suitable for all ages.
For Bosman fans and the uninitiated alike, this play comes highly recommended having played successfully at the Grahamstown Festival and at many other venues and festivals around the country.
