My Children My Africa

My Children! My Africa! is a three-character play set near the last days of apartheid featuring Mr. M, a black professor, Thami, his black student, and Isabel, a white student from across town. The two students are the top of their classes and when they come together to debate gender equality, they find each other to be challenging, intelligent adversaries and form a friendship which leads to them working together as a team with Mr. M as the coach. However, the dynamic of the trio changes as the characters take sides in the politics of the time. The climax of the play is an argument between the professor and his student, who are on different sides of a boycott of the school.
