Weaver Press O' & A' Level Titles

A Cowrie of Hope A Cowrie of Hope
Tells the story of Nasula, the widowed mother of Sula, her only daughter, who she is determined should go to secondary school, something that she herself was never able to do. As a poor woman, a widow, a peasant farmer at a time of drought, and without a family or in-laws to help her, the obstacles she encounters are Herculean.
A Tragedy of Lives A Tragedy of Lives
This powerful book is based on interviews with (former) female prisoners that were conducted by Zimbabwean women writers. The stories that are told are revelatory. Women who find themselves in prison were often driven by circumstances into a situation where the emotional or material poverty of their lives makes breaking the law appear the only option.
Writing Still Writing Still
These stories by established and new Zimbabwean writers provide ‘a truly colourful social, historical and geographical mosaic which confirms yet again the paradoxical truth that troubled societies produce some of the most interesting writing available.’ 
- Annie Gagiano, LitNet, South Africa
In the Continuum & Other Plays In the Continuum & Other Plays
Theatre and drama are very much part of our every day lives. These four plays: Belonging by Mirirai Moyo, When I Meet my Mother by Kathleen McCreery, In the Continuum by Danai Gurira and Nikkole Salter, and Power Failure by Jide Afoylan reveal the dynamism and variety of theatre. They also reveal that from Zimbabwe to Brazil, Nigeria to the USA, societies despite their diversity share many common problems and challenges.
The Caretaker The Caretaker
Nothing is quite what it seems in this play where three men interact in a small apartment filled with the stuff of hope and the litter of discarded lives. Through comedy and farce that sometimes borders on the pain of loss, loneliness, and futility, Pinter explores the meaning we give to our lives, its reality and unreality.
A Doll's House A Doll's House
Often described as the ‘first feminist play’, this drama offers a distinctive exploration of the stereotypes and prejudices within nineteenth century middle-class European society. Nora does everything expected of a good wife and mother, at a time when women were excluded from decision-making, and are dependent on their husbands. A Doll’s House raises timeless issues, whose applicability to contemporary Zimbabwean life can be quickly understood.
