Border plays are a genre of dramas, a sub-section of the so-called “border literature” [“grensliteratuur”], written mostly in Afrikaans, but also in English, that deal with the war on South Africa’s borders in the 1970s and 1980s.
Examples include: The Dead Wait by Paul Herzberg (1997), Somewhere on the Border by Anthony Akerman, and Môre is ‘n Lang Dag by Deon Opperman.
