−	Jy kan dalk noem dat ek ook in 2015 Anthony Horowitz se Mindgame in Afrikaans vertaal het as KUL vir Jacques Theron. Die drie rolle is gespeel deur Tobie Cronje, Nicola Hanekom en Wilhelm van der Walt. Ook Donald Churchill se The Decorator as Twee vir die prys van een vir Kosie House of Theatre. Die regisseur was Neels Clasen en die spelers Hannes Muller, Lizz Meiring en Michelle Botha. Dis aangebied in Montecasino en Theatre on the Bay. Ek het ook 'n eenbedryf Steriel geskryf wat in 2017 by die Suidoosterfees aangebied is met Ian van der Westhuizen en Du Toit Alberts. In 2024 het ek Rudi van Rensburg se Hans bars die bioborrel vir die verhoog verwerk. Left Foot Productions. Regie Emil Haarhoff en Berbard Myburgh met die speler wat al die karakters vertolk Tiaan Slabbert. Verder het ek vir Ignatius van Heerden die teks vir sy spraak- en dansteater TRANS/VAAL in 2025 geskryf.
