| Description |
Those familiar with Mr Dryland's extremely individual choice of titles will correctly presume that "Think of Africa" has nothing to do with the dark continent, although it could be fairly described as a black comedy. The play is set in this country and concerns a family reunion which turns out to be far from a mere social occasion. There are several skeletons in the Selby family cupboards and they are exposed with clinical accuracy. |
