Marie se Laaste Dag

In Marie se laaste dag, written by Lourensa in collaboration with author and theatre maker Mercy Kannemeyer, we meet Marie (Mandri Sutherland), the trusted secretary of the Minister of Mineral Resources, Hendrik van der Merwe (Deon Lotz). On the first day of the newly formed government of national unity (GNU), Marie is tasked to arrange a meeting for her boss with newly appointed Defence Minister, Mayihlome Khumalo (Dumisani Mbebe). Marie is ready to embrace the ideals of the New South Africa, with a helping hand from Thandi (Rozanne McKenzie), Minister Khumalo’s secretary who wears hot-red lipstick.
