 According to Kruger (1999) the title refers to a one-off [[Festival|festival]] of short plays,  put on by the [[Bantu People's Theatre (BPT)]] at the [[Ghandi Hall]] in Fordsburg in 1941. The programme had a strong socialist emphasis and included [[Gaur Radebe]]’s ''[[The Rude Criminal]]'' and [[I. Pinchuk]]’s ''[[Tau]]'', performed largely in Sesotho and starring [[Dan Twala]]. According to her the experiment does not seem to have been repeated.

He says that ''[[Patriot's Pie]]'' by [[Guy Routh]] was performed by '''ANT''', as well as Radebe’s play and ''[[The Word and the Act]]'' by an unknown author (possibly also [[Guy Routh]].
