The Red on the Rainbow

Primarily inspired by recent real-life events in Coligny, the play follows the aftermath of the death of a young man on a maize farm at the hands of a farmer’s son and his friends. The play explores how time seems to remain frozen, picture style, in an unending apartheid-ghost-dance. How with each dreary step into the future, reality seems to loop, stoop and Reloop, forever trapping the amper- people of these towns in a cartoonish and feverish attempt to leap into the much-lauded blissful change that our country’s simunye moment is said to have unleashed for all.
