Afrikaans
	Cabaret
	In the early 1990s I partnered with Marita Esterhuyse creating and producing several cabarets in the literary European style -- that means, social commentary, not the sequence and tits variety. The cabarets were perfomed in the Afrikaans language. We brainstormed the concepts together, she wrote the script and composed numbers, and I did the orchestration on MIDI. The cabarets were performed at the Grahamstown National Arts Festival and at various functions in Gauteng.
	Tango vir 'n tert
	The first cabaret was Tango vir 'n tert (Tango for a tart).
	Kat in die donker
	Our second cabaret was Kat in die donker - 'n kabaret oor knyp. The title is a variation of an Afrikaans idiom knyp die kat in die donker which means doing naughty things on the sly.
	Laaste Vastrap in Parys
	The cabaret Laaste vastrap in Parys was social commentary taking the controversial Brando movie "Last tango in Paris" as motive. The cabaret investigated how the conservative community of the sleepy South African town Parys does not really differ in its morals from cosmopolitan decadent French Paris. Here is the original cast: And here is the cast of the final production in Voortrekker (ie 'frontier') drag: Jacques, Peter, Onida and Marita
	And what have we here...?
