Our Town/Ons Dorp, an adaptation by Robert Mohr of Our Town (1938) by Thornton Wilder (1897-1975).

It was presented by Universiteitsteater Stellenbosch in May 1988 as a tribute to Mohr after his death (in 1984), directed by Esther van Ryswyk, starring Limpie Basson, Marie de Kock and Emile Aucamp who were all involved in the 1959 production.
