About this ebook

In December 2000, Pumla Lolwana pulled her three children close to her body and stepped in front of a train on the railway tracks between Philippi and Nyanga on the Cape Flats, South Africa.

This true story demanded Athol Fugard's attention and compelled him to write The Train Driver; a beautiful and haunting play of redemptive power.

The Train Driver received its UK premiere at Hampstead Theatre, London, in November 2010.

'Brave, confrontational and tender . . . Essential theatre viewing.' Sunday Times, South Africa
