Die Koggelaar ("The mocker") is a play by Pieter Fourie (1940-)
Contents
The original text
According to Nico Luwes (2012, p.255) the origins of the play lie in a period of acute loneliness and a disillusionment which newly divorced Fourie experienced while living in Franschoek and working as Resident Dramatist for CAPAB. He began writing the work in 1981-2, but only finished it in 1986, when he submitted the text for the newly instituted SACPAC Award. The text won the very first such award, to some considerable controversy and, in terms of the award, was subsequently performed by a number of the Performing Arts Councils in 1987.
Published by Haum-Literêr in 1988. It would become the second play in the quartet of farm tragedies by Fourie, along with Ek, Anna van Wyk, Donderdag se Mense and Post Mortem.
