I was fortunate enough to visit Dr. Adriaan Landman today, who is the Programme Manager of the Art and Design Department at the College of Cape Town. He was also the genius behind the costumes that appeared in the play Gif, directed by Andre Bester, that was based on my novel, The Goblet Club.

Andre Bester’s excellent stage adaption of The Goblet Club called Gif was enacted once again last night by the talented students of Jan van Riebeeck High School as part of the Tienertoneelfees at the Klein Libertas Theater in Stellenbosch.

I remembered to bring my camera along this time.
