Description
Collected Plays: 2009 – 2017 is a compelling anthology of five plays by South African writer Allan Kolski Horwitz. Featuring The Pump Room, Comrade Babble, Boykie and Girlie, Jericho, and Book Marks, this collection delves into the layered social and political realities of both the post-apartheid and apartheid-era South Africa. Through sharp dialogue and vivid characters, Horwitz confronts themes of identity, justice, and transition, while also reaching beyond local narratives to explore broader moral and political issues such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
This collection reflects Horwitz’s commitment to politically conscious theatre, with stories that navigate the tensions between personal agency and historical forces. The plays combine realism with poetic moments, offering both critique and introspection. Rich in cultural texture and dramatic range, these works will resonate with those interested in theatre that challenges, provokes, and illuminates.
Collected Plays: 2009 – 2017 is ideal for readers and theatre enthusiasts drawn to socially engaged drama and contemporary South African storytelling.
