Brothers

WINNER OF THE SA BREWERIES AMSTEL PLAYWRIGHT OF THE YEAR AWARD

BROTHERS reflects the social strata and attitudes that exist within a family of poor whites who eke out a meagre existence in a desolate area of the Cape in the early 1950s.

It is a work that reflects tension derived from circumstance, stoked by the return of one of the brothers who had mysteriously disappeared, not to be heard of again for eighteen years.

His return unveils secrets and frustrations that have remained hidden, only to result in tragedy with their inevitable release.

While the era referred to has passed, the issues and prejudices remain very much alive.
