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.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833462403277,"sku":"9781840024807","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_33ed307e-b61f-4dd4-9d63-c43bd78f135a.jpg?v=1790873911","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/plays-two","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
