South Africa Plays is a collection of five South African plays, compiled and introduced by Stephen Gray.
The volume includes Somewhere on the Border by Anthony Akerman, an anti-war play dealing with the invasion of Angola; "The Hungry Earth" by Maishe Maponya, which dramatises black disabilities and the will to liberation; Susan Pam's "Curl Up and Dye", a story about five women in a hair salon who find the divisions of apartheid stronger than their common interests; Paul Slabolepsky's "Over the Hill" which uses sporting metaphor to anatomize the white middle class and "Just Like Home", a mediation on exile.
