The play is set in the Free State where cultural norms and traditional practices still play an important part in communities. The titular character Tau lives in a conflict of modern and traditional norms deeply rooted in African his- tory and mythology. His father is a traditionalist and a community elder and his mother a neo traditionalist with the ability to be swayed. Once confronted with this conflict, he em- barks on a journey of discovering his manhood, himself and his Sesotho culture. The story deals with sensitive cul- tural issues that have remained un- changed for centuries and are diffi- cult to question. It also deals with the taboo issue of homosexuality in the midst of a sacred “manly” ceremony. The play does not wish to shun the cultural beliefs of its audiences,
