Mwana - 'Top Tip for Surviving School' CompetitionWould you like to be in with the chance to win a free family ticket to see the debut show titled Mwana? If so, all you have to do to enter the competition is to write up to 100 words of your top-tip on ‘How to Survive School’. Be as creative and as unusual as you like! For example, you could write us a poem or lyrics to your song or even a short story on how you have survived through school. We are offering the competition winner the choice of taking up to three people to see the show in either the Tron Theatre in Glasgow or the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh. Presented by ANKUR PRODUCTIONS in a co-production with TRON THEATRE COMPANY, ‘Mwana’ is a play written by the Glasgow based Zimbabwean poet and writer Tawona Sitole and directed by Shabina Aslam. Mwana is a coming of age story which explores the relationships of family, race, tradition, and secrets. The show infuses elements of spoken word, film and sound design to transport you to the city of Harare in Zimbabwe. The play is centred around Mwanawashe, or Mwana as he is better known to some, he is a young Zimbabwean who has studied in Glasgow. He is torn between his love for the West and the traditional values and expectations put upon him from his heritage. Mwana is a salad boy -he is neither Western nor African. Mwana returns to Harare for his elder brother’s wedding, yet he has a deep secret to reveal which has far more profound consequences than he can even imagine. Mwana needs to face up to his responsibilities, but can he? Please email your entries to office@ankurproductions.org.uk or post them to Remember to put your full name, age, contact telephone number, email address, your year group and school/ college/ university in with your entry. Competition closes on the Friday 3rd February.
