Yael Farber Books

Yael Farber is a multiple award-winning director and playwright of international acclaim. Her productions have toured the world extensively - earning her a reputation for hard-hitting, controversial works of the highest artistic standard. The three plays in her first collection are linked by visionary reimagining of classic theatrical texts.

Three unique testimonial plays from South Africa by a hugely influential and highly acclaimed young playwright.

Yael Farber uses the Oresteia trilogy as a metaphor through which to revisit the horrors endured by the black majority at the hands of the white minority. But unlike the original, Farber breaks the cycle of violence, reflecting South Africa's own transformation in the 1990s.
