Written in Kaaps.

"Laaitie mettie biscuits is nie 'n toneelstuk nie; dis is 'n wekroep. Dit vra moeilike vrae oor ons samelewing en hoe ons omgaan met die kwesbaarste onder ons. Dit is intens, roerend en onontkombaar. DIs 'n drama wat jy nie net kyk nie, maar ook sal voel." Sebastian Paulus, KKNK 2025
