''[[Legacy]]'' is a collaborative play by [[Daveshan Govender]], [[Bheki Mkhwane]] and [[Ubuntubesizwe Productions]]. 

==The original text==

The text is the result of the play development project run by [[Twist Theatre Development Projects]] in 2010, during which the play was developed by a professional playwright and professional director with a community theatre group. 

After its performance in 2010, the text was published in four versions in the collection ''[[New South African Playscripts]]'' by [[Twist Theatre Development Projects]] in 2010. The versions are a full script in English, a full script in Zulu, a two-hander script in English and a two-hander script in Zulu.

Later adapted version performed as '''''[[Belly of the Beast]]'''''.  

A complex piece packed with intrigue, drama and action and laced with subtle bits of comedy, dealing with a man stumbles upon a young stranger – presumed to be a thief – in his home one night. He is still recovering from his wife’s murder during a hijacking, so this sparks an interesting interaction between the man and this stranger. It ends in a shocking twist.
