‘Plays take time and need proper development. We need to avoid the temptation of putting up work before it’s ready’

For him, sport and theatre are connected: “In theatre, there is a set of rules — the game of a play. It’s called a play for a reason.” Still on the subject of family, he reveals he was born 44 years ago in Northcliff, Johannesburg. He credits his mother and grandmother with instilling in him a love of the arts and theatre: “I spent vast amounts of time with Mom and my grandmother. They nurtured my creative interests. My mom had an interest in art, particularly painting, which I also do.

At Wits University, Homann enrolled for an architecture degree, which he thought would be a good marriage between his creative interests and what his father described as a “real job”. Some of the design features he would like to see implemented at the theatre are how the front of house can be made more visually appealing by the use of light.

It doesn’t always require a lot of money: “But if a play needs a design, and doesn’t get it, then we have a problem,” says the 2014 Standard Bank Young Artist for Theatre Award winner. In an ideal setting, in addition to his vision “to initiate a multi-pronged new plays development programme, aimed at writers, playwrights and theatre-makers of all experience levels”, what is on his wish list?
