People of Note - Sylvia Vollenhoven

Loading player...
An interesting new play is about to open at the Arena Theatre here at Artscape. It’s called “Krotoa, Eva Van De Kaap” and is described as a multilingual and intercultural show set in present day South Africa where a South African actress, playing Krotoa, meets a Dutch actor who is playing Jan Van Riebeeck on a film set. The story brings to the stage a neglected and contested aspect of shared history in an innovative way. The play was written by the award winning writer, journalist and film maker SYLVIA VOLLENHOVEN and Rodney Trudgeon spoke to her about her life and the play for People of Note.
