Chicago Shakespeare Theater (CST) begins the 2010/11 World's Stage Series with Itsoseng written and performed by Omphile Molusi who won a Scotsman Fringe First Award at the Edinburgh Festival in 2008. Taking its name from the South African township where Molusi was raised, Itsoseng is the story of a young man desperate for change but unable to achieve it. Balancing comedy and tragedy, it explores the effects of changing politics on the townships. The young playwright Molusi was the first recipient of the Royal Shakespeare Company's Brett Goldin Bursary Award in 2006.
