[Lit. “The Plumed Seed is Wafted Far”] by N.P. van Wyk Louw. A play commissioned by the Performing Arts Council for the Transvaal for the first Republic Festival in 1966. Directed by ***, with Anna Neethling-Pohl as the narrator. The play focussed on a reinterpretation of the Anglo-Boer War and the notion of an Afrikaner Nation. The fact that the play asks “what is a nation?” led to a direct confrontation with H.F Verwoerd and significantly broadened the growing split between the government and the more liberal Afrikaner writers. First published by ** in ?*Human en Rousseau in 196*.Published by Human & Rousseau.
