-Written in 1966, it was his first attempt at a serious drama after ''[[Tjaka]]'', and was written in English because of the gay theme, since he felt [[Afrikaans]] theatregoers were not ready to accept such a play yet. [[Niel le Roux]] has called it the first South African drama written about gay issues. It was never published.
+A play about a homosexual couple - a surgeon and an actor - who dream about the son they could never have. He is of course to be perfect, physically beautiful and a fine cultured person who is interested in the arts and theatre. Then they find a motorcyclist after an accident who is the physical counterpart of their dream. They take him into their home, but reality is nothing like the dream.
