Author Description

Mid-winter 1964, a phone rings at Johannesburg Railway Station. John Harris speaks quickly into the receiver: "This is the African Resistance Movement. We have planted a bomb, It is not our intention to harm anyone. Clear the Concourse." They don't.. The bomb explodes, twenty-three are injured, one dies. Does the end justify the means? Does one life matter? The Only White is a true retelling of a story in a desperate fight for freedom, a story of the one white man executed for political activities in Apartheid South Africa. But it is also a story of love and courage and comradeship, and love. Written by Gail Louw, multi-award winning playwright, with plays performed throughout the world.
