A play by Kessie Govender.

The original text

Kessie Govender's first play. Basing his public comment on his experience in the building trade, the playwright launches a scathing attack on the authorities in the 1970s for spending the equivalent of the cost of a stable on a house in Chatsworth - when the stables were more structurally sound than these badly-constructed dwellings.

Translations and adaptations

Performance history in South Africa

The play was first performed by the Stable Theatre Company in the 1970s, and gave a name to both the company and the Stable Theatre they used.
