Abe Brouwer was born on September 18, 1901 on the Bergumerheide near Bergum. After school he worked as a road worker in Friesland. This gave him more interest in the Frisian language. He then worked in an asylum for the mentally retarded in Eindhoven. His career started with sending a poem to the local Frisian advertising magazine De Hepkema. His writing was more concerned with the story of the people than with its literary descriptions. As a playwright, Brouwer often wrote about peasant life. Together with JP Wiersma he was active in the Nij Frysk Toaniel. Brouwer's pieces were especially popular because of his strongly put together characters. His plays were also performed in the open-air theater of Diever. Great fame outside Friesland came through the filming of "De Gouden Swipe", especially through the music of "De Kast" and the song "In nije dei". Abe Brouwer died on March 18, 1985 at the age of 83 in Franeker.
