Abstract

This chapter explores how these two contemporary South African female playwrights are using specific aesthetics to address legacies of apartheid violence in the post-apartheid context. It analyses Yael Farber's post TRC plays 'A Woman in Waiting' (1999), 'Amajuba' (2002), 'He left Quietly' (2003) and 'Molora' (2007); and Lara Foot-Newton's 'Tshepang: The Third testament' (2003), 'Karoo Moose' (2007) and 'Reach!' (2007).
