It wasn't until that day I saw how small our lives were. It wasn't enough just to provide food; I wanted more. Today I might not be where I wanted to be ... but !my apples will fall far from this tree. Oupa's trying to help his father, John, to move on. Oupa's saving up for a pair of football boots for his son, Tumi. Oupa stays out late at secret meetings and comes home breathless. John knows what is happening. John has seen this scene before. Inspired by the events of the miners strikes in 2012 which saw the deaths of 34 and the injuring of 78, Moleba's charming and honest play asks what it means to be a father and what it means to be a man in working class South Africa; where exercising your civilian right to strike for better pay could be met with lethal force.T0547527831Producer Jermyn Street Theatre.
