***KKNK SHOWCASE***

Robert Hindley does it again!

This time for his production, “Die Dag toe Guppie Sweef” which will be at KKNK on 1+2 April (this weekend!).

Q: Robert, what draws you to Children's Theatre?

A: As an actor, I’m drawn to the challenge. Children’s theatre is no easy feat for a performer! Not only do you have to maintain an insane energy level, you’re also playing in front of the toughest crowd you can find. Naturally, all the effort is worth seeing the lights go on for even one kid during a performance. There is no greater testimonial to the power of live theatre than a child who is so immersed that they try to fight the bad guy themselves! Children’s Theatre is pure magic and it changes lives. 

Q: What has been a highlight of your KKNK experience over the years?

A: The phenomenal productions and the festival atmosphere that Oudshoorn creates gets me excited every time. Aside from that, our magical run of the children’s production Jakkals en Wolf Onbeperk was one to remember. 

Q: Which theatrical actors do you look up to and inspire you?

A: Anna-Mart van der Merwe will always be a great inspiration to me. Her constant professionalism is eclipsed only by her massive talent and her beautiful heart. From across the border, Anthony Hopkins will always inspire me to strive for greatness. 

Q: If you had a Hollywood budget, what theatre production would you translate to film?

Selfishly, I think seeing Jakkals and Wolf Onbeperk fleshed out with all the bells and whistles on screen would make my heart very happy. In general, Hamilton would be absolutely epic on screen.

Thank you Robert for bringing life and wonder to children's theatre!
