 An upsetting, but superbly  moving [[Afrikaans]] verse play about the issues of voluntary exile, forced removals and the trials and tribulations of a "coloured" family in [[District Six]] in Cape Town. One of the best plays to come out of the [[apartheid]] era.
-The early history of the play is somewhat confusing,
+Small originally published an [[Afrikaans]] short story with the basic plot in the ''avant garde'' literary journal ''[[Sestiger]]'' of August 1964. This was later expanded and reworked as a play.
-According to [[Abraham de Vries]] (2017), Small originally published an [[Afrikaans]] short story by this name in the ''avant garde'' literary journal ''[[Sestiger]]'' of August 1964. This was later expanded and reworked as a play.
+An extract of the [[Afrikaans]] play text , without a title (and with "Kanna" still named  "Hannie"), was published in [[Contrast]] (March 1965).
-It was possibly a reworking of an earlier English play, ''[[Gone Canada]]'', written in 196*, later rewritten in [[Afrikaans]] to become ''[[Kanna hy kô Hystoe]]''.
+The full (un-performed) [[Afrikaans]] text of the play, now titled ''[[Kanna hy kô Hystoe]]'', was first published by [[Tafelberg Uitgewers]] in 1965.
