This work is set against the backdrop of forced removals to the Cape Flats in the early 70s. After seven years in prison, feared gang leader, Map Jacobs, is eligible for parole and the question on everybody’s lips is whether Map has changed or not. The play examines the pain and grief of that time and also looks at the good times before the “Big Days”. Map Jacobs needs to find his salvation and ultimately, his identity in the people around him. |
