The Only White - New Play by Gail Louw

They don’t.

The bomb explodes, twenty-three are injured, one dies.

Does the end justify the means? Does one life matter?

As John Harris is arrested and tried for the capital offence of murder, his wife Ann, with baby David in arms, seeks refuge with the Hain family in Pretoria.

Seen through the eyes of a teenager, Peter Hain, the boy who was to become an ardent anti-apartheid campaigner and later a member of the Tony Blair cabinet and then on to The House of Lords, The Only White is the account of a desperate fight for freedom.

This is not only the true story of the only white man executed for political activities in Apartheid South Africa, it is also a tale of courage, comradeship and love.
