Woza Andries? is a poltical play written by Robert Volker, and workshopped by TEATERteater's actors De Klerk Oelofse, Johan Botha and Kelly-Eve Koopman, with director Christiaan Olwagen.

Though the original script bears the title Woza Andries?, the play is also referred to in reviews and other materal as Woza Andries!? or Woza Andries!


The original text

The play is a response to and a very free adaptation of Woza Albert! (Mtwa, Ngema and Simon, 1981). Written for two white actors, set in the New South Africa, the original text was written by Robert Volker, and then workshopped by TEATERteater's actors De Klerk Oelofse, Johan Botha and Kelly-Eve Koopman, with director Christiaan Olwagen.

However, in an interview (***) Christiaan Olwagen seems to suggest that it was the first play he had written.
