Itsoseng archiveA scathing indictment of government indifference, the inhabitants of Itsoseng are still waiting for regeneration thirteen years after apartheid. Itsoseng is told through the eyes of Mawilla, a young man from the depressed town of Itsoseng who loses the love of his life whom he loved since childhood, a pretty girl called Dolly, to prostitution. The couple's lives are touched at every level by the wretchedness of their environment in which they are forced to live, and Mawilla is left to helplessly watch Dolly's steady decline as the township he loves withers, first under the rule of the apartheid government, then an inexperienced, apathetic government. Itsoseng which means 'wake yourself up' paints a compelling portrait of a young man who is desperate for change, but doesn't know how to achieve it. Fresh from sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and South Africa's Baxter and Market Theatres, award-winning Omphile Molusi tells the story of his hometown, Itsoseng, in his London debut. Winner of the Royal Shakespeare Company / Baxter Theatre Brett Goldin Bursary Award
