 == The original text ==
-Originally written as a one act play, as an adaptation of the 1884 short story ''La Mère Sauvage'' by Guy de Maupassant (1850-1894)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_de_Maupassant], and specifically created along with various other short plays, for production by a dramatic society Smit had founded at the University of Pretoria in 1944. Between then and 1955 the text went through a number of versions to finally evolve into a more clearly defined South African play, a concise and critically acclaimed short tragedy in two acts about the dilemma of a [[Boer]] mother and her menfolk in the dying moments of the [[Anglo-Boer War]].
+Originally written as a one act play, as an adaptation of the 1884 short story ''La Mère Sauvage'' by Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_de_Maupassant], and specifically created along with various other short plays, for production by a dramatic society Smit had founded at the University of Pretoria in 1944. Between then and 1955 the text went through a number of versions to finally evolve into a more clearly defined South African play, a concise and critically acclaimed short tragedy in two acts about the dilemma of a [[Boer]] mother and her menfolk in the dying moments of the [[Anglo-Boer War]].
 According to the author's ''Preface'' to the published play, the two key themes Smit wished to explore in the play concern the evolution and nature of the notion of the "Boerenasie" ("boer nation") and what he calls a "filosofiese eksperiment" ("philosophic experiment") with the modern "doodsproblematiek" ("problem of  death"),  and more pertinently citing André Malraux's on man's fear of a death without meaning ("la terreur d'une mort sans signification"). The play thus asks whether the survivors of a failed rebellion or battle have the moral right to abandon a fight for which others have given their lives. These themes and the structure of the play was developed over the course of about ten years while the author was studying and travelling in Europe after World War II, with the final text being written in London and Paris over the course of 1954 and 1955.
