A play about Olive Schreiner's life and work, created by Morris using extracts from Schreiner's writings (her letters, monographs, novels, and in particular her posthumously published, unfinished novel, from Man to Man). According to the introductory note to the 1991 text "(A)lmost the entire play is Schreiner's own words which have only been added to, or minimally altered, to fit the demands of stage action."
