by [[Uys Krige]]. An [[Afrikaans]] play, later also published in his own English translation under the title ''[[All Roads lead to Rome]]''.
 
 
 
Set in Castelmanico, Italy, and drawing on Krige’s war-time experiences, it is a play of great simplicity and humanity, an indictment of the senselessness of war. It tells the story of an Italian girl and her grandmother trying to deal with the traumatising murder of their family by the Nazis. The young girl has been struck dumb by the killing of her family and her grandmother fruitlessly seeks a lift from soldiers to take the stricken girl to a doctor in Rome.
