A play in two acts by Paul Slabolepszy. A play set on an arid smallholding, in which a father and his son terrorize a postal worker.
In this play a young Afrikaner stumbles upon a heartland he never knew existed. A desolate farm-plot on the edge of the East rand becomes the ultimate battleground between the urban and the rural, the future and the past. A cataclysmic, anarchic celebration of the frontier spirit.
