Home Affairs
Home Affairs is a play by Michelle Douglas
Contents
The original text
The initial idea was proposed by Neil Urmson, i.e. to create a show dealing with having a midlife crisis in a South African context, and the text was written by Michelle Douglas. The play does this by looking at the frustration and stress facing two South African men trying to get something sorted out at the department of home affairs.
