by [[Lewis Nkosi]]. An emotional but basically unperformable political play about a group of militant black students who plan to blow up the [[Johannesburg City Council]] and a [[Nationalist Party]] rally, and the personal battle between two brothers and the plight of a white woman embroiled in the moment. Widely studied in the 1970s and 1980s. Written in exile in the USA, the play was published by [[George Wellwarth]] in ''[[Themes in Drama]]'' (New York: [[Thomas Crowell]]), in 1964, then in a single volume by *** in 19**. The play was immediately banned in South Africa, since it may have been the first play to openly advocate violence as a course of action open to blacks in South Africa. No formal performance has been recorded, though clandstine student productions no doubt took place in South Africa from time to time.
