“Henrietta with Love” is a brand new play, a gift to Lee-Ann van Rooi from her friend and mentor, Peter Voges. Wife to Charlie, mother to Mercia, sister to Rosie, friend to Freda, neighbour to big Mrs. Castens, HENRIETTA speaks of her life with love. She shares her traditions, her “swear by’s” and her culture. Henrietta explores the meaning of things, troubles of the mind, ginger squares, Protea Village they now call Bishops Court, nerve pills, the war in North Africa, her favourite cerise pill box hat with matching petals and a veil that Mrs. Castens said made her look like a pond lilly, upright and beautiful…And about that one day that changed everything…”Henrietta with Love” is a play directed by Sandra Temmingh
