Hagar is a play by Bartho Smit ()
Contents
The original text
A play about a "coloured" woman called Hagar, whose heart is transplanted into a white man.
Though the idea was generated much earlier with the first heart transplant in , the text was finally written in something like three months in 1977-8, inspired by the success of Die Keiser in 1977. When submitted to Francois Swart and Chris Barnard for comment however, he was recommended to shelve it and it was thus not performed or published. The text was donated to the archives of the HSRC's Centre for South African Theatre Research (CESAT), and is now part of the CESAT holdings in the South African National Archives in Pretoria.
