Dirty Work is a play by by Maishe Maponya (1951-2021).
A solo play, shaped in rehearsal with actor John Maytham, this is a study of a security advisor adressing the audience and spouting white fears and preconceptions about black South Africans, while disturbing off-stage sounds keep intruding.
First performed in 1984, the text was published in Doing Plays for a Change (a collection of Maponya's plays, introduced by Ian Steadman), by the Witwatersrand University Press in 1995.
