Based on the novel Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton
The songs "The Little Gray House", "Trouble Man", "Lost in the Stars", "Stay Well", and "The Little Tin God" all had their origins in Ulysses Africanus (1939), an unfinished, aborted musical.
"The Little Gray House" and "Lost in the Stars" were moved to this show intact. "The Little Tin God" uses the same lyrics as in Ulysses Africanus but the musical setting was changed. "Trouble Man" was originally "Lover Man" and was changed because of a rival claimant. "Stay Well" had no lyrics in Ulysses Africanus.
