Veil and Ghetto Goats: Two South African Plays

These two contemporary South African plays portray with humor and grit the real life struggles of everyday people. Veil explores what happens when a Somali shopkeeper immigrates to South African and falls in love with a local woman. Ghetto Goats depicts the harsh realities of homelessness, poverty, and sexual violence in the lives of three men who sleep in a park. These stories, though dark, are not without humor and hope.
