Die Koggelaar is an expressionistic play that deals with the Afrikaner and his relationship to God, set in a world bereft of hope. A central symbol is the all encompassing drought - ravaging the souls of the Afrikaners as much as it does the land.According to Nico Luwes (2012, p.255) the origins of the play lie in a period of acute loneliness and a disillusionment which newly divorced Fourie experienced while living in Franschoek and working as Resident Dramatist for CAPAB. He began writing the work in 1981-2, a period of immense confrontation and violence in the country, but only finished it in 1986, when he submitted the text for the newly instituted SACPAC Award. The text won the very first such award, to some considerable controversy and, in terms of the award, was subsequently performed by a number of the Performing Arts Councils in 1987.The play also won the newly created Dawie Malan Award for new indigenous plays, instituted by DALRO, in that year.Published by Haum-Literer in 1988. It would become the second play in the quartet of farm tragedies by Fourie, along with Ek, Anna van Wyk (1984/1986), Donderdag se Mense (1990) and Post Mortem (1993/2016).
