Artscape will be presenting a revival of the highly acclaimed play
Steriel before it leaves on its European tour to Antwerp, Amsterdam and
The Hague.
Steriel is an exciting, contemporary Afrikaans drama, written by
Gideon van Eeden. The play explores the friendship between two ambulance
men working on the Cape Flats, and the difficulties they have to overcome
in their jobs. They have to rescue the injured, face the flying bullets,
and, above all, come to terms with their own demons.
