A one-man play set in a small rural village in the Lowveld. Forty-eight villagers gather in the school hall to watch The Sound of Music. In their midst is a killer with a cunning plan.

"Dit is duidelik dat ons hier 'n baie sterk nuwe stem in die Afrikaanse dramawêreld het." Marisa Keuris, Literator

"Daar is baie humor in die teks, maar dis geen grappige werk nie. Die stuk is warm, menslik en slim. Maar uiteeindelik eerde onstellend en snaaks." Naomi Meyer, LitNet
