Prinz Bettliegend Performance Script: Western Cape, South Africa, March 2018

This script represents the South African performance of Prinz Bettliegend at the Woordfees (Word Festival), March 2018 in Stellenbosch. It was developed by writing team Malan Steyn and Mercy Kannemeyer with the Stellenbosch University's Drama Department student cast, directed by Amelda Brand. The 2018 script is an expanded version of the script developed in 2017 as part of the Out of the Shadows festival in Cape Town and Stellenbosch for the Performing the Jewish Archive project, which drew upon the plot outline and other aspects of the work of the Australian development team. Suggestions related to blocking, choreography during songs and comedic actions by Hocus & Pocus (two tricksters and clown-like characters) are also included in this script.
