Hermanus Passiespel

The Hermanus Passiespel (Hermanus Passion Play) is an annual event in the old harbor of the coastal town.

Created by former drama teachers Lisma Kotze (1935-2016), who also wrote the script, and her husband Koos Kotze in 1995. It was run by Lisma till 2003, when she retired and Fanus le Roux, one of the regular actors, took over organiser and director.

The play is put on every Good Friday and between 80 en 100 local amateur actors take part in the event, set in the harbour.
