Opis

Patricia and Richard Wiley, an elderly white couple, are interrupted by the arrival of a young man who used to be one of the black workers on their farm in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands - until he disappeared fifteen years before. Something terrible happeend before he left. Everyone has a different memory of this event, and as the different versions of their shared histories are unravelled, these have shocking ramifications for their lives today.The play provides a complex analysis of South Africa's emerging democracy, and its continued negotiation with its past. This critically acclaimed new play takes an unflinching look at the twin mantras of the post Mandela era: reconciliation and forgiveness, and asks whehter it is possible for black and white South Africans to live together equally and peacefully.
