Reza de Wet: Plays Two Paperback / softback
by Reza de Wet
Paperback / softback
Description
A farm lies in ruins. And with mother and father now gone, a brother and sister face eviction by an officious lawyer.
Abandoned, they endlessly enact the rituals of punishment once visited upon them by their parents.
Widely regarded as a milestone in South African theatre, the multi-award winning play "African Gothic" tells the story of their final danse macabre.
Despite overwhelming critical acclaim, it was also fiercely condemned by Afrikaans conservatives as being a subversive portrayal of repression. "Good Heavens" is a comedy thriller with the dark poetic heart of a folk-tale.
Two spinster sisters, with their ailing mother and simple-minded brother, await the annual visit of their youngest sister.
Deeply envious of her beauty and youth, they hatch a diabolical plot to rid themselves of her forever.
In "Breathing In", on a stormy night in the last bitter months of the Second Anglo-Boer War, a seriously wounded General and his faithful Adjutant encounter a mysterious woman and her seductive other-worldly daughter, and are confronted with the subtle methods of survival these women have been forced to adopt. Accustomed to the rigours of war, the Adjutant now faces a terrible choice.
