by [[Mthuli Shezi]]. A politcally charged and banned play which deals with the interracial love between Shanti and Thabo and Thabo’s coming of age as a man in South Africa and his conversion to the armed struggle. Perhaps the best known play in the [[Black Consciousness]] repertoire, directly reflecting its the aims and ethos at the time, it became the “signature play” of the [[People’s Educational Theatre]]. They first produced it as an open act of defiance against the Apartheid regime in Lenasia in September 1973, in association with [[Shiqomo]] of Soweto and directed by [[Solly Ismael]]. After the production was closed down by the police, the text was used as evidence against members of [[PET]] and [[TECON]] arrested under the Terrorism Act in 1975. Published in [[Robert Kavanagh]] (ed): ''[[South African People’s Plays]]'' by [[Heinemann]], 1981.
