Itsoseng:

Itsoseng is a love story played out against a backdrop of shattered expectations. Set in the township of Itsoseng in the North West Province, the play charts how the promise of each fresh beginning after 1994 has ended in despair. A service delivery protest ends in the Itsoseng shopping mall being burned down to the ground, but still things do not change. Mawilla, the main character, experiences this despair personally as circumstances force Dolly, the girl he has loved since primary school, into an early grave. The play gives a personal view of post-apartheid township life by its acclaimed author and award-winning actor, Omphile Molusi. The play has been staged successfully in South Africa, as well as at the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland where it was widely praised.
