Wolves in sheep skins
Clever has been the talk of the month in the village of Masunga because his father preached and used his son as an example of how a real son should be. Everyone knew that Clever was coming home on the 16th   of December to meet Ludo( a tailoring student) a young   lady her parents chose for him to marry. His father   talked pompously of his   son and how he is the best bank tailor at Bank of Baroda in Gaborone. A lot was expected   from   Clever   and as expected   on the 16th,he came home   with   a well-known   Nigerian   French speaking hip hop artists based in Gaborone.Clever ’s father   wanted   Tabuda to meet   Ludo   first   before   all the celebrations could start the next day. The meeting did not go as planned because it is the day Tabuda‘s father started drinking   in ten   years after having stopped when he was ordained   A Roman Catholic Pastor. What could have happened to make Father Drink alcohol?

Act 1 Scene 1

Loud bar music is playing in the darkness. A sound of a beer bottles hitting on each other is heard.

A man putting the pastor’s collar is sitting on the couch holding a bottle of lion lager. He looks so distressed, holding his chin with the other hand. He looks up as if seeing God and shakes his head .he makes a cross sign before taking another long sip. One of his shoes is on the table and two empty beer bottles are under the table. The bible is also placed on the table beside the shoe. He walks around the scattered house in despair, then takes another long sip

PASTOR

(Clicking his tongue for a longer time)

Why me of all the people in the world? (Opens his arms whilst looking up).I said why me?

(Suddenly, there is a heavy knock on the door, the Pastors panics and heaves the bottles under the couch then hides the open beer behind the couch, a box unopened cigarettes falls from his pocket. While he is still placing the beer bottle, he gets frozen for a moment)
