The Lighthouse Keeper’s Wife
The Lighthouse Keeper’s Wife by Charles Fourie is set on a remote South African coastline, where a lighthouse stands as both a guide to sailors and a symbol of isolation. The play centers on Stella, the wife of the lighthouse keeper, whose life is defined by routine, duty, and emotional confinement. Living far from society, Stella is expected to maintain the household and support her husband’s work, while suppressing her own needs and desires.
Deoudoné Pretorius plays the part of STELLA LAMPRECHT – Lighthouse Keeper’s Wife
Stella is intelligent, sensitive, and emotionally isolated. Trapped in a jealous and controlling
marriage, she longs for intimacy, freedom, and recognition. Stella sustains herself through hope — writing secret love letters and imagining escape. As the play progresses, her psychological state fractures, blurring the boundary between sanity and madness.
Neels Clasen can be seen as ADRIAAN LAMPRECHT – Lighthouse Keeper
A rigid, illiterate man shaped by fear, jealousy, and obsession. Adriaan’s love for Stella is genuine
but destructive. Socially withdrawn and deeply suspicious of others, he believes order and possession equal security. His inability to confront his own fear leads to irreversible brutality.
The Lighthouse Keeper’s Wife opens on 24 April at the Opera Theatre at The SA State Theatre in Pretoria and runs till 3 May.
Mevrou Fourie & Kie
This Afrikaans comedy show follows Anita Fourie, a middle-aged woman whose life descends into hilarious chaos when she decides to divorce her husband, leading to multiple generations of family moving in under one roof in Randburg.
Luan Jacobs portrays Barry Fourie. He appears successful at first glance, but has achieved little since leaving school and has never truly grown up. He is proud, ambitious, and hardworking, but also impulsive, childish, and at times overly sensitive; he frequently clashes with his sister Melissa, who sees right through him. Barry lives in his mother’s house and is constantly busy with money-making schemes, often alongside his grandmother Tina, with whom he shares a strong bond.
Neels Clasen is playing Hardus, who is a handyman, a good one… but not necessarily as neatly finished as his woodwork. He gives his all and does his best to be the romantic knight in shining armour that Anita had hoped for… but there are a few things that simply aren’t all that sexy.
Mevrou Fourie & Kie is premiering on Kyknet (DStv Channel 144) on Sunday, April 19, at 20:00.
Generations - The Legacy
The soapie centres on the struggles, romances, and rivalries within modern South African families, often exploring corporate drama.
Mary-anne Barlow plays the part of Minki Martinique an ex-model. On the surface, Minki appears to be attention-seeking, and self-interested. She’s also impulsive and volatile – you never know when she will go off the rails. Whenever Minki gets herself into trouble, she plays the victim card, saying she is misunderstood. But underneath all the reality-star bravado is a lonely vulnerable woman, desperate for approval, with a deep wound.
Minki comes to your screens on Friday 3 April and all weekdays at 20:00 on SABC 1
