Copy of a typed copy of the text, found in the Stellenbosch Drama Department archives in 2022. (No author is indicated, but interestingly, a handwritten note by Temple Hauptfleisch suggests that it may have been by someone using the pseudonym "Ferox", and that the text had been donated by Helen Brent[2] in 1988).
