Performance history in South Africa
Die wind sal nooit weer ophou waai nie word in 2002 by die Volksblad-Kunstefees in Bloemfontein opgevoer. Dit is ’n drama oor gestremdes, waar sommige van die rolle dan ook deur gestremdes gespeel is. Hierdie mense se stryd om hulle gestremdheid te verwerk en menswaardig tot die samelewing by te dra is die tema, terwyl vergrype teen hierdie mense, ook die verkragting van veral swart vroue met liggaamlike gestremdhede, ook aangespreek word.
