Anna Mart v. Merwe who has appeared as Christelle is the "go to" actress on the South African stage. When not directing episodes,as part of a 4 member team, actors Chris Vorster and Pierre van Pletzen are clearly brilliant in their acting. Vorster tends to underplay, whilst van Pletzen is a wonderfully gifted comedic actor whose physical comedy skills are best seen in his stage work.
Van Pletzen never breaks character as the geriatric Oubass. Probably responsible for the best dramatic moments in the series is Wilna Snyman playing matriarch Madel Terreblanche. Snyman has remarkable dramatic timing and control. Vinette Ebrahim is another wonderful talent and provides leadership to the young er actors working with her.
The recurring guest star Terrence Bridgett would be a star in any country. Only 7delaan could manage to have the outrageously camp character Jerome establish his "boudoir" under the kitchen table in church elder's Oubass apartment. The old and new South Africa in a head on crash. Also worth applauding is the director Henry Mylne, known for keeping his actors moving. Details Edit.
