The Years of the Locust, by James Ambrose Brown was the first English indigenous play produced by CAPAB's English drama company. The theme was contemporary; the involvement of a well-meaning innocent in subversion, sabotage and treason. It was directed by David Bloomberg in 1966 for the fifth Republic Festival. The lead role was played by Frank Shelley, Yvonne Bryceland played opposite him. It also starred Erica Rogers and launched Glynn Day's professional career. The play was seen by just over 10 000 people in the course of 38 performances as far afield as Queenstown and Kimberley.
