    A soccer-themed youth musical will be coming to Grahamstown later this month. The African Dream, a musical which tells the story of South Africa’s road to hosting the 2010 World Cup, will begin at Noluthando Hall on 26 May.

    The musical’s large cast use poetry, narration, and music and dance to take the audience on a journey from the failure to secure the 2006 World Cup bid to the joy experienced after winning the bid in 2004.

    The production, written and directed by Johnny Loate, will come to Grahamstown as part of an
    Eastern Cape road show after enjoying a successful run in the North West.

    Presented by Seboka Training and Support Network, the musical is aimed at the youth and will allow people to enjoy the performance for free. Along with the performances, workshops in dance, drama and theatre management will also be held.

    “We have been overwhelmed by the positive response we’ve had to African Dream so far,” says Dr Lisky Nombe, the CEO of Seboka Training and Support Network.

    “Young people are really responding to its  positive, uplifting message and are connecting with the vibrant music, action and drama of the piece.”

    Seboka is a non-profit, developmental organisation which has branches around the country and is largely committed to improving access for the poor to healthcare services.

    The African Dream will run at the Noluthando Hall from 26 to 29 May and workshops on 29 and 30 May. All performances are free.
