This book is both a deeply personal memoir and a glimpse into Des and Dawn’s political activism: the joy, drama and challenges of a lifetime in South African theatre.
Des will share some of the stories of their 55-year career, from folk-singing in the 1960s to producing and
performing in major musicals all over southern Africa.
They worked with the region’s most famous musicians, endured threatening Special Branch attention, had their albums and shows banned yet quietly persevered as musical anti-apartheid activists and professional entertainers.
