Description
Cundill’s finely nuanced observations of the relationship between a dying mother and her ambitious developer son showed the audience why he was one of South Africa’s premier writers before migrating to Australia in 1987. Cundill illustrates how the one-act form, kept thematically simple and uncluttered, can pack a punch. The humour, well-placed and sparsely rendered, infused an otherwise dark topic with the wit and wisdom of a very human experience.
