Steve Hofmeyr het dit laat blyk dat hy baie in sy skik is met die verhoogvertolking van sy novelle Vier briewe vir Jan Ellis wat onlangs by die Suidoosterfees gedebuteer het. Die teks is deur Lizz Meiring vir die verhoog verwerk.
“Soos vir die meeste Suid-Afrikaners kom Diasville se droomkind, Jan Ellis, ook later agter dat dit ’n leuen was: Nie alle drome word waar nie. Nie alles sal regkom nie. Hoe gemaak met dié lot, as die noodlot roep?”
