Fat Tant Sannie (Karin Van der Laag) looks after her charges, the sweet Em (Anneke Weidemann) and the independent Lyndall (Kasha Kropinski), with a strict Biblical hand. It was Em’s late father’s dying wish. Gentle Otto (Armin Mueller-Stal), the farm manager, runs the farm and cares for Waldo, his son.
Olive Schreiner's intense story of three children living in the African veldt has often been compared to Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights. Wildly controversial at publication (1883) because of its feminist sentiments, the story has remained a touching and often wickedly funny portrayal of life on a late Victorian farm in South Africa.
He adds much-needed colour as con artist Bonaparte Blenkins - a Dickensian-style villain who appears at the remote South African farm of religious bigot Tant Sannie (a pantomimic Karin van der Laag) and proceeds to make life doubly unbearable for the three children residing there.
