Eendsonderend

by David Mamet, Louis Van Niekerk (Translator)

Twee ou mans sit op ‘n bankie in ‘n park en gesels oënskynlik oor die gewoontes van eende. Luister ‘n mens egter noukeurig kom jy gou agter die gesprekke gaan dalk oor meer as net eende. Wat dink hulle byvoorbeeld van die wet van die natuur, vriendskap en die dood?

Ducks! What isn't there to not really say about them? Practicing for a radio performance in April.

A Mamet play… about ducks? Sign me up.

An amusing sketch about two old men chatting (and arguing) about life... and ducks. It always comes back to ducks.
