I am play praises GBV awreness

The play was about how women and the girl child are affected psychologically and mentally by societal norms, societal pressures, notion of woman hood and betrayal.

It was based on two women; Kgomotso (in her 40s) and Lolo (in her 20s). Kgomotso was Lolo’s step mother and although they lived together, they did not talk nor communicate to each other. They were resentful of each other. Kgomotso was married to Lolo’s father for 10 years, but they never had a child. Her in-laws labelled her barren and the blame was put on her as a woman for not giving her husband children. She always sensed that the society including her colleagues, friends, were passing remarks about her, especially at social events. This made her angry and frustrated. After the husband passed away, she realised that he was infertile. When he got sick, Kgomotso discovered the truth from a letter he wrote explaining everything. She kept the secret to herself and hated Lolo even more.
