''Maskermaan'' by [[Cecilia du Toit]] (19**-)

''Maskermaan'' ("Mask-moon") is an [[Afrikaans]] South African drama. It imagines a fictional meeting between the Afrikaans poets [[Louis Leipoldt]] and [[Eugène Marais]], whose initially convivial conversation about poetry, love of nature and knowledge of the veld hardens into a ruthless contest of concealed agendas, in which Leipoldt's wish to help Marais overcome his addiction becomes a game of masks put up and torn away.
