(For information on the Synge original, see the entry on The Playboy of the Western World.)
The Afrikaans text, in three acts, transposes the language and setting to a so-called "coloured" fishing community on the Cape Coast and was first performed by PACOFS in 1972 and published by Human & Rousseau in 1973.
