After this afternoons awful performance, I was not really in the mood for more theatre and so went into this play slightly negatively. It did, however, turn out to be an enjoyable and informative piece.

It was a recount of the live of the political activist Steve Biko and followed a number of important points in his life. I did, however, feel that it encompassed a number of points which were of little interest and which dragged the play along for me. A slightly shorter production would have been preferred. The use of a screen to recount time was reminiscent of Cissie but unlike Cissie, I found it poorly integrated and distracting.
