Entertainment Reporter
This is after the play’s initial shows at the Protest Arts International Festival last year in Harare where it left audiences spellbound.
Actor, Omphile Molusi, who is also the writer of the award- winning play, is aggressive and goes through his paces with immense dexterity.
It is a gripping true story of a township in South Africa 13 years after apartheid.
Itsoseng weaves together the fortunes and misfortunes of a community in ruins.
The play is a love story between protagonist Mawilla and Dolly, the girl he has loved since childhood.
Dolly is forced into prostitution and Mawilla, who is powerless to save her, must watch her undoing as the two of them face the realities of rape, homicide and unemployment.
