"SCOTT", the 2019 Distell National Playwright Award Nominated Playscript, will be performed at the Theatre Arts Admin Collective from 10 15 September 2019 at 7pm and 14 15 September at 3pm. It is written and directed by Morapeleng Molekoa and performed by Tafara Nyatsanza.The writing process of "SCOTT" began in 2018 in response to a tragic incident that took place in Cape Town. In July 2018 I came across a Facebook post by Tankiso Mamabolo which read:An Afrikaans lady and her dog survived a head on collision. You would think this is a happy ending until you read the story further and realize that her black employee was sitting at the back of the bakkie and unfortunately did not survive.Upon reading this, I was compelled to ask:How did this mans death affect his family (supposing he had one)? Is it possible that he also could have survived the collision if he had been allowed to sit in the front, along with the dog? More often than not, we see black men seated at the back of bakkies going to-and-fro work. How many of them have suffered the same fate, and how many other families have had to deal with losing them?"SCOTT" traces the life and struggles of Sizwe, a gardener from Nyanga, who works for a white woman in Constantia looking after her dog, Scott. When Scott dies, Sizwe helps the woman to mourn and grieve for her dog. A few weeks later, Sizwes mother dies and things take a turn for the worse. The production is about questioning the equivalence of how animals are treated in white communities in relation to black bodies.
