Final Scene
We see a repeat of the first scene. All the township houses. This time though
ON STAGE:
We see our characters on stage. It’s only BONGANI, ALFRED AND JOSPEH. They’re
old now, but happy and sing a song that starts out quite somber, but becomes a happy
song as they work in the mine.
ON AV:
MZI is old and alone. He is sickly. The somber song, when it begins, reflects MZI’s
demeanor. When the song becomes happy, it should be a contradiction to what MZI is
going through. The AV should fade and end with the 3 other actors singing the happy
song.
Please help me.
