Contents
The original text
Based on a story in The Decameron of Boccaccio (circa 1350), which had been the source for Shakespeare's All's Well that Ends Well (performed circa 1592), Amato's comedy is a retelling of Boccaccio's original story in what he playfully terms a "proper" play.
An unbound printed copy of the text, with a introductory Note (dated Kalk Bay, 2000), is held in the archive of the Drama Department at the University of Stellenbosch.
