The original text
Though the idea was generated much earlier, the text was written in 1977-8, after the success of Die Keiser in 1977. When submitted to Francois Swart and Chris Barnard for comment however, it was turned down, and 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.
