-Her first piece of writing, the unnamed short play written while she was still in primary school, was followed by two more one-act plays, ''[[Katlagters]]'' ("Babblers") and ''[[Op deurreis]]'' ("passing through"), published in ''[[Wurm]]'' and ''[[Contrast]]'' (two the literary magazines of the time). Then came  ''[[Dawid die dik dom kat]]'' ("Dawid the Fat Dumb Cat", a children's play written for [[CAPAB]]'s children's company) and ''[[Trippens se patatta]]'', ("Thrupenny's worth of sweet potato", a [[absurdist]] piece about human gullibility and avarice, billed a "fairytale for adults"),  which were both published as playscripts by [[DALRO]] (the [[Dramatic, Artistic and Literary Rights Organisation]]).

 However, it was with the 1978 publication and subsequent production of her last play,  ''[[Die Laaste Middagmaal]]'' ("The last midday meal", originally written in 1966), that she gained serious attention as a dramatist. Probably her best known play, the work was the joint winner of the one-act play competition announced by  [[The Space]] in 1972/3 (the other winner being [[Sheila Roberts]]’s ''[[My Weekend, Too]]''). The play was performed by [[The Space]] in that period and the text was published by [[Taurus Publishers]] in 1978.
