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.
