OF NO ACCOUNT, inspired by my brother, Seeni Naidoo, was written in 1980/1. It was the first production of The WIP (Work-in Progress) Theatre Company, which consisted of the cast members and playwright/director. The play was staged at Communikon in Durban in April 1981.  In January 1982, it went to the Laager, at the Market, in Johannesburg.  

It was revised in September 2000 and edited in 2008.
