[[Volkstoneel]] ("folk theatre", "theatre for the people" - also referred to sometimes as [[Volksteater]]): As a general term it is normally used to refer to the kind of popular plays which were written and produced for white audiences in which the values of the [[Afrikaans]] [[nation]] were realistically and somewhat simplistically often sentimentally presented - and occasionally questioned, satirised and/or comically portrayed. These plays were often created by companies to be taken on tour in the rural areas.

Perhaps the most emblematic example of such a play is [[Jochem van Bruggen]]'s classic ''[[Ampie]]''. Gradually, in the face of new theories and practices of theatremaking, it slipped into being a term of derision.

However, in the 1970's, [[Pieter Fourie]] sought to revive the notion, giving it specific content and stature by defining it as a realistic, sympathetic yet critical approach to the everyday lives of South Africans - as opposed to the highly politicised, abstractionist works being produced by the playwrights of the time. His plays ''[[Faan se Trein]]'' and ''[[Faan se Stasie]]'' are perhaps his most coherent and persuasive arguments for this, for they paint an endearing and enjoyably theatrical portrait of small-town life.
