About this listen

When her husband dies, aging Miss Helen begins to fill her home in the remote South African bush with strange sculptures made from beer cans and old headlights. A local clergyman and a young woman visitor try to decide whether Miss Helen's peculiar art is an outpouring of creativity or an outbreak of madness.

An incandescent drama by South Africa's most celebrated playwright.

An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Julie Harris, Amy Irving, and Harris Yulin.
