A poetic and politically charged drama by Uys Krige, The Two Lamps explores the tension between personal conviction and societal expectation. Set in a South African village during wartime, the play follows a young soldier torn between duty and conscience as he confronts the moral ambiguities of violence, loyalty, and love. Kriges lyrical dialogue and layered characters illuminate the human cost of ideological conflict.

A rare and resonant work from one of South Africas literary voices, ideal for collectors of anti-war literature and dramatic texts with historical depth.
