''[[Tussenspel by 'n Bushalte]]'' ("Interlude at a busstop") is a radio drama by Morkel van Tonder (1923-2013)

==The original text==

A radio drama written by radio announcer and author [[Morkel van Tonder]], the piece
brings together two would-be suicides ("Willem" and "Marie") on the roof of a tall building, the tenants of the first seven floors of which are symbolic of various stations of life. On the first level there is a registry office of births and deaths and then successively a life insurance company, a law firm, a pastoral psychologist, a marriage bureau, a doctor and an undertaker and these levels with their activities are then representative of the broad spectrum of existence from the beginning of life to death.

Published by [[Human & Rousseau]], first in the collection ''[[Sewe Stasies en Ander Hoorspele]]'' (1983 and 1986) then included in ''[[Voort met die Spel]]'' (1991).
