The final monologue

Simpho posing for Styles

Wiseman having a nightmare – his grandfather calls him in his dreams.

Reading for the character of Oupa Ledwaba

Oupa enjoying a great laugh.

Jacques is joined by Oupa Ledwaba, the son, and he puts on the white wedding dress to dance with his father. The dress is the symbol of love and John’s longing for his late wife.

The boy, (played by Omogolo and Vusi, his lover, (played by Lebohang) make a promise to each other.

Wiseman tells Joseph about his grandmother who spent her whole life waiting for her lover and husband who never came back. Now Masiza is playing the grandmother.

Masiza Mbali, Joseph Langa after he was just accused of stealing the ID of Wiseman’s grandfather.

They are playing a board game – we invented a hybrid between chess and checkers.

Details of the premier at PopArt. This play is specifically targeting 7-11 year olds.

Joseph and Wiseman playing a game. The silent wage is whoever wins will tell the other the truth behind their motives; a grandson looking for his lost grandfather and a man living with his grandfather’s ID. What really happened to the real grandfather?

John is on the phone with his daughter in law and grandson. He is happy to hear the grandson is following in his footsteps and his fathers – their shared love for soccer.
