Description
This title features two plays by leading South African playwright, Reza de Wet. In "A Worm in the Bud", Katy stays in England while her sister Emma travels to South Africa, leading to obsession and madness for both of them. "Concealment", also set in South Africa, concerns a doctor and his two daughters: one a spinster, the other a widow with secrets about the events surrounding her missionary husband's death.
Set in England's colonial outposts in South Africa during the 19th Century, both of the plays in this volume feature sisters forced by a deeply conservative, patriarchal society to resist the powerful call of their vivid surroundings and to stifle the demands of their own rich, feminine sexuality.
About the Author
Reza de Wet is a South African playwright who was born in a small town (Senekal) in the Free State. She currently lectures in the Drama Department of Rhodes University in Grahamstown, and is the author of twelve plays.
