- Summary
- "A Man out of the Country is set in the South African exile community in Amsterdam - a community of which Akerman was a part. The play dramatises the conflicts arising from the existential and political issues that confronted those people who left during the apartheid years." "Dark Outsider, which won the 1993 SACPAC Drama Prize and earned its author the 1995/96 Vita Playwright of the Year Award, deals with the Campbells' tempestuous marriage. The centrepiece of the play is the love affair between the bisexual Mary Campbell and Vita Sackville-West, and the lasting effect this had on Campbell's attitudes and creativity." "Old Boys, which won the 1996/97 Vita Award for Best Script, explores the dynamics of male interaction in the rarefied atmosphere of an exclusive single-sex boarding school. It also examines the way in which the past lives on - albeit filtered through selective memory - in the lives of old boys."--Jacket
