"In this touching, disturbing and meticulously researched play,
each vulgar and bullying witticism reinforces the indoctrinating
brutality with which young, susceptible minds were beaten into
submission. Each word is like a razor wire pulled across the soul."
--Leon van Nierop, "Artslink" "Somewhere on the Border "was written
by Anthony Akerman while in exile more than two decades ago. The
play was intercepted in the post and banned as a publication by the
apartheid censors because the language was considered "offensive"
and the portrayal of the South African Armed Forces "prejudicial to
the safety of the state." This publication of a one-act version of
the play brings the South African Border War back into public
discourse and pierces through the armour of silence, secrecy, and
shame that still surrounds it. The script is complemented by an
author's preface and an afterword by historian Gary Baines, as well
as photographs of its 2011 production.
