Ad Donker, 1988

A fine copy in a near fine d.w., light wear to extremities. INSCRIBED by Pat Schwartz. Additionally inscribed to the same recipients by Barney Simon. Barney Simon (April 13, 1932 – June 30, 1995, Johannesburg) was a South African writer, playwright and director..Barney Simon co-founded Johannesburg’s Market Theatre in 1976. The Market Theatre was South Africa's first multiracial cultural center and a birthplace of the country’s indigenous theater movement. Working under the racial segregation laws of apartheid without state subsidies and under constant threat of arrest for staging controversial contemporary plays performed by multiracial casts in front of multiracial audiences, Simon remained the theater’s artistic director from its opening until he died. He was the first to stage many of Athol Fugard’s plays, directed a film for the BBC of Nadine Gordimer’s story City Lovers, and worked with screen writer Jean- Claude Carrière on the French translation for the Paris production by Peter Brook of Simon’s last play, The Suit (Le Costume) (1994).
