Itsoseng is a love story played out against a backdrop of shattered expectations. Set in the township of Itsoseng in the North West, the play charts how the promise of each fresh beginning after 1994 has ended in despair. 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 is interspersed with Setswana (translations are provided), and gives a personal view of post-apartheid township life by its acclaimed author and award-winning actor, Omphile Molusi.

This edition includes: an introduction by the playwright, vocabulary help on the page, exam-style questions for learners, and information on the play’s historical background.

A sensitive combination of political protest with the touching portrayal of one mans heartache. Bronwen Louw, English teacher
