Doep is nie dood nie – a one-man show about the life and work of Jannie du Toit’s friend and mentor – has been received with great critical acclaim by the Press.
“Du Toit besit met sy immer meevoerende stem, sensitiewe vertolking en
wydlopende verhoogervaring die sleutels om die tydloosheid van
Koos du Plessis te ontsluit” Paul Boekkooi (Beeld, 7 Mei 2014)
“Nostalgie gryp jou aan in die eerste oomblik van die produksie…
Wanneer jy begin luister na Jannie du Toit se vertolking van net meer as 20 van
Koos Doep se liedjies…weet jy daar is geen kans dat sy woorde sal sterf nie…”
Mariana Malan (Die Burger, 31 Maart 2014)
“Die drif waarmee Du Toit sy eertydse vriend uitbeeld, is aangrypend”
Jaco du Plessis (Krit, 31 Maart 2014)
