An observer, Simon, who has loved Ruth since childhood, tells her story. Tshepang was inspired by the horrifying rape in 2001 of a nine month-old child. The child, Tshepang, gave her name to Lara Foot Newton's award-winning play, though it is also 'based on twenty thousand true stories' - the number of child rapes estimated to occur in South Africa each year. Having premiered in Amsterdam in June 2003, Tshepang opened at the Gate Theatre, London, in September 2004. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinner of the Fleur du Cap Award for Best New South African Play 2003\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lara Foot Newton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oberon Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Oberon Modern Plays\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.04h x 5.12w x 0.17d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781840025316","brand":"Oberon Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42706497405065,"sku":"9781840025316","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_dfec8194-0c0e-46f4-b034-06351366ca88.jpg?v=1719458576","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/tshepang-the-third-testament-9781840025316","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
