And with mother and father now gone, a brother and sister face eviction by an officious lawyer. Abandoned, they endlessly enact the rituals of punishment once visited upon them by their parents. Widely regarded as a milestone in South African theatre, the multi-award winning play\u003ci\u003e African Gothic\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of their final 'dance macabre'. Despite overwhelming critical acclaim, it was also fiercely condemned by Afrikaans conservatives as being a subversive portrayal of repression. \u003ci\u003e Good Heavens\u003c\/i\u003e is a comedy thriller with the dark poetic heart of a folk-tale. Two spinster sisters, with their ailing mother and simple-minded brother, await the annual visit of their youngest sister. Deeply envious of her beauty and youth, they hatch a diabolical plot to rid themselves of her forever. \u003ci\u003e In Breathing In\u003c\/i\u003e, on a stormy night in the last bitter months of the Second Anglo-Boer War, a seriously wounded General and his faithful Adjutant encounter a mysterious woman and her seductive other-wordly daughter, and are confronted with the subtle methods of survival these women have been forced to adopt. Accustomed to the rigours of war, the corageous Adjutant now faces a terrible choice.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReza de Wet writes primarily in Afrikaans, and has won more theatre and literary awards than any other South African playwright.
