The Devil's Child is a play by Mike van Graan.

Original text
The themes deal with a dysfunctional family, who carries the twin burdens of a deep family secret and the blame for a family tragedy. These make her “play out” especially towards authority figures.
Translations, adaptations
Originally written as a commission from the Aardklop Arts Festival in English as The Devil’s Child, and translated into Afrikaans by the director and cast during rehearsals.
