Helen Martins was the inspiration behind Athol Fugard's play, "The Road to Mecca". The following information is taken from Wikipedia : Helen Martins (23 December 1897 - 8 August 1976) was born in Nieu-Bethesda, South Africa. After obtaining a teaching diploma she got married. The marriage was unsuccessful and she returned to Nieu-Bethesda to take care of her ailing parents. In the years that followed, Helen grew more and more estranged from the outside world. After her parents' death she started to transform the house and the garden. Martins used cement, glass, and wire to decorate the interior of her home and later to build sculptures in her garden, drawing inspiration from Christian biblical texts, the poetry of Omar Khayyam, and various works by William Blake. In 1964, she was joined in her work by Koos Malgas, who helped her build the larger sculptures of owls, camels, and people (mostly pointing east as a tribute to Martins' fascination with the Orient) In 1976 Helen Martins's eyesight began to fail. Dreading the daunting fact that she was going blind, she took her own life by swallowing a mixture of caustic soda and crushed glass in olive oil. She was rushed to a hospital in Graaff-Reinet, where she died three days later, on 8 August 1976. As per her wishes, the Owl House has been kept intact as a museum (managed by the Owl House Foundation founded in 1996).
