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.

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.
