Laat die Kerse Brand! en Ander Eenbedrywe
Laat die Kerse Brand! en Ander Eenbedrywe ("Let the candles burn and other one-act plays") is a collection of one-act plays by Gerhard J. Beukes (1913–1998).
The title is sometimes written without the exclamation mark, and/or written in lower case as Laat die kerse brand en ander eenbedrywe - since this is the usual biblioigraphic convention in Afrikaans.
The collection
Besides the title play (Laat die Kerse Brand!), the collection also contains:
Die Hand wat Hy Eenmaal Geneem Het
First published by J.L. van Schaik in 1945, reprinted 1946 and 1947.
