    (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2016-03) Badenhorst, Stephanie Aletta Cornelia; Du Preez, Petrus; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Dept. of Drama.
    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study documents the history of the Libertas Theatre Club from the time of its founding in 1960 up to 1989. All the full-length productions produced by the Libertas Theatre Club, important events, as well as key persons involved with the Club, are documented. At the end of each decade certain conclusions regarding the productions, happenings as well as key personalities are drawn. The main focus is not an in-depth analysis of the above, but rather an attempt to build an archive wherein the said information can be preserved. This compilation is currently of the utmost importance, since the Klein Libertas Theatre was destroyed in a devastating fire at approximately 06:30 on Saturday, 13 June 2015. Besides the irreversible damage caused by the fire, the archival material covering 55 years has been largely destroyed. The main focus of this study was to list the full-length productions produced by the Libertas Theatre Club, along with the key figures who were closely involved with these productions. A few visiting productions are, however, included because of the historical value that these productions added to the Libertas Theatre Club and later the Klein Libertas Theatre.
