Dirty Work

by Maishe Maponya. A solo play shaped in rehearsal with actor John Maytham. A study of a security advisor adressing the audience and spouting white fears and preconceptions about black South Africans, while disturbing off-stage sounds keep intruding. First performed in The Laager at the Market Theatre in 1984, published in Doing Plays for Change: Five Plays (ed Ian Steadman), by the Witwatersrand University Press in 1995.
