The event, which he does in partnership with Horizon Ogilvy, will be held at The No.1 Ladies Coffee House at 6pm.

The play won the Sanford Prize in 2012 after its off-Broadway premiere in 2012.  It later went on to scoop the Florence H. Chandler Award in 2013.

It will star local actors like Teto Mokaila, Mimi Modimakwane and Bayani Moilwa in the lead roles.

According to Molosi, Motswana: Africa, Dream Again celebrates Botswana through its diverse cultures. He stated that the play does not shy away from addressing tough questions that occupy the mind of today’s Batswana.

The 33-year-old Mahalapye-born has already published a collection of his original off-Broadway plays, which include We Are All Blue and Blue, Black and White.

In 2011, Molosi won the Best Short Solo Award at United Solo Theatre Festival for his performance as Seretse Khama in Blue, Black and White. He has played supporting roles in the following historic films, A United Kingdom (2016) and Given (2009). Tickets for the events are sold at P100.
