Klarabelle gaan Kaap toe ("Klarabelle goes to the Cape"). Debut play (2002) by Zenobia Kloppers.

Original text

The play is about a woman who had lost her memory and thus her ancestry and heritage, and who, in the course of the play; goes on a symbolic train journey to Cape Town, meeting all manner of South African characters on her travels. It explored something very close to Kloppers's heart, namely issues pertaining to coloured identity.
