At Her Feet: the playscript

Offering an intriguing insight into the world of Islam from a woman’s point of view, At Her Feet gives voice to six Muslim women of different ages and their response to events including an honour-killing in Jordan and everyday life in Cape Town. They examine their experiences as Muslim women both with respect to the behaviour of other practitioners of Islam, as well as at the hands of people outside of their faith.

At Her Feet played to full houses around South Africa and garnered its author international acclaim.

This edition includes: an introduction by the playwright, vocabulary help on the page, exam-style questions for learners, and information on the play’s historical background.

“The play is rich in realistic, well-crafted, character-revealing monologue and the poetry/song modes are superb and memorable…” Willem van der Walt, English teacher
