Selected Plays V Robert Mshengu Kavanagh

This, the fifth in the series of selected plays, features three plays - Yedebubu Duka: Footsteps in the South [South Africa], Mavambo: First Steps [Zimbabwe] and The Tree of Ghosts [Namibia] - which span thirty five years and are situated in three countries. Apart from coming from different Southern African countries, they have one thing in common, their liberations struggles - the ANC and PAC's struggle against apartheid; ZANU-PF and PF-ZAPU's struggle for Zimbabwean independence; and SWAPO's struggle for Namibian independence. All three plays were adapted from existing texts - From Shantytown to Forest by Norman Duka, Son of the Soil by Wilson Katiyo and Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen.
