by James Ambrose Brown. A play about the involvement of a well-meaning innocent in subversion, sabotage and treason. (Not to be confused with The Day of the Locust, which is a 1939 novel by American author Nathanael West, later filmed under the same name.)

First performed in 1966, as CAPAB's first indigenous English production, and as their contribution to the fifth Republic Festival. It was produced for CAPAB by Toerien-Rubin and directed by David Bloomberg, with Johann Nell, Frank Shelley, Yvonne Bryceland, Erica Rogers and Glynn Day.

This production also played at the Alexander Theatre in Johannesburg, and toured the country, being seen by just over 10 000 people in the course of 38 performances as far afield as Queenstown and Kimberley. First published by ** in 196*.
