by Guy Butler

A commissioned work for the 1952 Tercentenary Van Riebeeck Festival and produced by NTO in 1952, directed by Marda Vanne.****. A play about an English South African farmer’s relationships with his family and neighbours, and his vision of, yet doubts about, building a dam in the river. The dam and the implications of its building become a metaphor for Butler’s liberal view of the politics of the times. First published by A.A. Balkema in 1953.

by A.J.A. Wilson

A one-act play. Published by DALRO in 1970.
