Media 527
Artscape presents Krismis van Map Jacobs, which will be staged at the Artscape Theatre from 3 to 14 May at 10:00 in the mornings for schools. The production, is an adaptation by David Kramer of Adam Small’s novel, presented against the backdrop of forced removals to the Cape Flats in the early 70s.
After seven years in prison, feared gang leader, Map Jacobs, is eligible for parole and the question on everybody’s lips is whether Map has changed or not. The play examines the pain and grief of that period and also looks at the “good times” people had before the “Big Days”. Map Jacobs needs to find his salvation and, ultimately, his identity amongst the people of his community.
This new production is directed by well-known theatre man, Alfred Rietmann, who has also designed the set. Rietmann has designed for productions in the Artscape New Writing Programme and received Fleur du Cap nominations for the productions of A Circus Side Show and The Tent.
Krismis van Map Jacobs features popular actor, Christo Davids in the lead role, with Cedywn Joel, Royston Stoffels, Charlton George, Ferdinand Williams, Shameelah Ismael, David Johnson, Vaneshree Lingham, Jackie van der Heever and Loukmaan Adams. Costume design is by Illka Louw and lighting design by Nicholas Tilney.
