POCKETS OF KNOWLEDGE is an earth-shattering, timeless example of the power of storytelling presented through the language of theatre.  Using high level slap stick humour, immense vocal control and seamless character transformations; the simplicity of actor, story, audience and sound come together to tackle issues that shape modern South African daily life and politics. 

POCKETS AND KNOWLEDGE leads audiences into a world of dusty class rooms, riverside and night time pacts made by corrupt officials, dimwit, shady Principals and greedy thieves masquerading as philanthropists in the poorest of most poor landscapes. Beginning with a huge, energised, upbeat village celebration which the audience becomes a part of when the show opens, very quickly the narrative builds steadily towards an epic climax that threatens to destroy the peace and quiet of the outskirts of busy cities. Only two little village boys, Sihle and Malusi; can revive the dying morality, only they can save the village from going up in flames and smoke...
