Contents
Subject
Set in South Africa in the 2010's, it is the story of an Afrikaner boy turning into a man in a country that is also changing.
"Dis ’n eenmanvertoning oor die reis van grootword en die ontnugtering wat daarmee gepaardgaan. Dis ’n studie oor die emosionele samestelling van ’n familie en die vreugdes van vryheid en vlug. Die proses van grootword, word met deernis geskets met behulp van die Groot Verseboek, ma se grammofoonspeler en Pa se Camel Filters." (Programme note, KKNK 2013)

The text was translated into English by Hennie van Greunen, under the title Undone.
