Faan se Stasie The play
The original text
Written in 1976 as a sequel to his earlier play Faan se Trein ("Faan's Train"), it is a darker play, depicting the further adventures of a simple minded man with a love of trains.
After initial problems with some of the language and utterences contained in the text, it was first performed in the Nico Malan Theatre by CAPAB in 1976 and published by Tafelberg Publishers in the same year.
Translations and adaptations
The text was adapted for radio by Eben Cruywagen (see sub-entry below).
The two texts Faan se Trein and Faan se Stasie were translated into German by Peter Kleinschmidt and then adapted as a single drama entitled Faan. There is no indication whether this was ever performed.
The two texts Faan se Trein and Faan se Stasie were adapted for a film called Faan se Trein by Pieter Fourie and Koos Roets in 2013 (See sub-entries below).
