Who Killed Mr. Drum? by Fraser Grace

Sophiatown, South Africa: the 'golden' 1950's. Drum is South Africa's first ever black magazine, and for its two most vivacious and dynamic writers, it's business as usual. Can Themba, the 'Shakespeare of the Shebeens', is flouting the law with a mixed race liason, and Henry 'Mr Drum' Nxumalo is edging ever closer to danger with his unique style of investigative journalism. But when bulldozers begin to clear Sophiatown for white housing, it's not just rubble that comes crashing to earth....
Fraser Grace began writing for the stage whilst working for Back-to-Back Theatre, a Birmingham based touring company for which he also acted and directed. Perpetua was joint winner of the 1996 Verity Bargate Award. It was premiered at The Door, Birmingham Repertory Theatre in April 1999 in association with Soho Theatre Company.
