1. INTRODUCTION
The 17 Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement subjects which contain a practical
component all include a practical assessment task (PAT). These subjects are:
AGRICULTURE: Agricultural Management Practices, Agricultural Technology
ARTS: Dance Studies, Design, Dramatic Arts, Music, Visual Arts
SCIENCES: Computer Applications Technology, Information Technology,
Technical Sciences
SERVICES: Consumer Studies, Hospitality Studies, Tourism
TECHNOLOGY: Civil Technology, Electrical Technology, Mechanical
Technology and Engineering Graphics and Design
A practical assessment task (PAT) mark is a compulsory component of the final promotion
mark for all candidates offering subjects that have a practical component and counts 25%
(100 marks) of the end-of-year examination mark. The PAT is implemented across the first
three terms of the school year. This is broken down into different phases or a series of
smaller activities that make-up the PAT. The PAT allows for learners to be assessed on a
regular basis during the school year and it also allows for the assessment of skills that cannot
be assessed in a written format, e.g. test or examination. It is therefore important that schools
ensure that all learners complete the practical assessment tasks within the stipulated period
to ensure that learners are resulted at the end of the school year. The planning and execution
of the PAT differs from subject to subject.
2. TEACHER GUIDELINES
GENERAL
The Annual Programme of Assessment for the subject Dramatic Arts stipulates that THREE
PATs should be completed for the School Based Assessment component. This means ONE
PAT per term for terms 1, 2 and 3. Ensure that you, as the teacher, have a clear
understanding of all four Broad Topics and their related Topics when you prepare, set,
implement and mark the PATs. All three PATs contain two sections:
SECTION 1: WRITTEN SECTION
The Written Section consists of an Assignment, an Essay and Research. The learners are
required to demonstrate cognitive and conceptual understanding of the concepts of the CAPS
Broad Topics and Topics, on which the Written Section is based, as well as planning,
reflection and record-keeping skills. The Essay, Research and Assignment may be done in
any of the three terms, and, according to a school's specific planning, in any order.
The Written Section serves to prepare learners for the Performance Sections of the PATs.
SECTION 2: PERFORMANCE SECTION
The focus of this Performance Section is to develop the practical skills and techniques
prescribed in the CAPS Broad Topics and Topics incrementally and cyclically. Learners
should demonstrate applied competence in the form of Dramatic Items, such as a poem,
monologue, prose, scene/extract, physical theatre, film, design, directing and stage
management. A variation in Dramatic Form, Style and Dramatic Movement needs to be
demonstrated – as prescribed for the end-of year examination.

AIMS
Both the Written and the Performance Sections aim to:
Ensure thorough TEACHING and deep LEARNING has taken place. Guard against
an assessment-driven approach. Prepare your lesson plans to ensure enough
time is spent on you, the teacher, TEACHING and the learner LEARNING. The
formal assessment of the PAT is merely the end point of a long process based on
teaching and active learning.
Guide learners through an academic, theoretical, conceptual, technical and practical
skills process to enable them to integrate theory and practice in a meaningful manner.
Deepen and consolidate the learners' understanding and learning of the classroom
teaching.
Provide the opportunity to build a varied theoretical and practical repertoire in terms of
process and product.
Integrate theory and performance concepts, skills, knowledge and content.
Prepare the learners for the complex cognitive and abstract theoretical and performance
demands of the mid-year, trial and end-of-year examinations:
o Paper 1: Written Examinations
o Paper 2: Performance Examinations: Theme/Audition or Technical Programme
SOME IDEAS AND APPROACHES
Theoretical, academic, technical skills:
The subject Dramatic Arts requires a minimum of three years of rigorous, continuous
teaching, learning, development and maturation of conceptual and practical skills and
techniques. The development of voice modulation techniques, for example, should occur
over the three-year period and not only in Grade 12. (Ensure every period or moment of
teaching is focused.)
The transfer of knowledge, acquisition of skills and change in attitudes and values, are
embedded in an ongoing deep process approach. It is within the process that creative
thinking, creativity, imagination, visualisation, problem solving and critical thinking are
discovered, explored, conceptualised, implemented, developed and applied. These
aspects cannot be attained through individual methodologies or products.
Consciously develop learners' content knowledge as well as the academic and technical
rigour of the subject. At the end of Grade 12 learners should demonstrate applied
competence of the Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement from grade 10 to 11 to 12.
Ensure that the integrity of technical skills, style, genres, principles etc. of the dramatic
forms are maintained and demonstrated at all times. (E.g. an Elizabethan poem may be
interpreted creatively, but the form and style of the Iambic rhythm, the phrasing, the
heightened poetry, the vocal and physical delivery, etc. of the Elizabethan genre must be
mastered and demonstrated.)
Process, meaning, creative voice and product:
Very few learners can complete a brief on their own. You, as the teacher, have to guide
and facilitate the creative process from inception to completion.
Be open-minded about divergent ideas, creative inferences, innovation and offered
solutions.
Remember; you must guide the aesthetic qualities and skills of the tasks.
It is the task of the teacher to enable the learner to find his/her own creative voice.
Try to lead the learners to find individual and innovative approaches/solutions.
Guide them to develop ideas by working from first-hand observation, e.g. attending and
discussing plays, critiquing TV programmes and films.
Guide learners to eliminate source material that lacks aesthetic appeal. Dramatic forms
should be selected from a credible published source or recognised oral tradition rooted in
indigenous knowledge systems.

Learners' styles and creativity:
Learners should be confident and calculated risk takers, try out new ideas and
processes without fear of failure.
It is important that confidence is encouraged and nurtured to ensure learners feel
comfortable about taking risks and learning from their mistakes.
Create a high-risk, low-threat/safe environment.
As far as possible know your learners in order to develop their particular strengths.
Some will be careful planners, while others work more intuitively. Some will exhibit their
work process outwardly; others work quietly, slowly and in private. Appreciate, nurture
and most of all respect all work styles.
Extrovert learners may readily offer a solution to another learner's mistakes. Encourage
the extrovert to rather focus on their own process and encourage the introverted learner
to offer and communicate their own solution. Extroverts are not necessary leaders. Often
the introverted learner is more conscious of detail, process and meaning. Encouraging
these learners' voices and opinions may enrich discussions.
Creative activity may proceed from a number of different levels, from the lower end, such
as producing a written framework for a Theme Programme; or the upper level,
developing an entirely fresh and individualised process and/or outcome. Both are valid
and will reach the same product.
There are many ways of creating. Be flexible enough to allow learners to find and use
their unique ways. One expects a stronger individual interpretation and style in Grade 12
learners. Resources or the lack thereof does not determine the level of creativity but
rather what the learner does with the resources available. The focus is on innovation and
the ability to re-imagine, re-frame or re-present a process or product from their unique
view of the world.
Assessment, feedback, listening and communication skills:
Continuously do informal assessment. Discuss the progress of learners' work with them
individually. Guide learners to find their own solutions, rather than imposing your ideas
on them.
Have regular 'critique sessions' during which the teacher facilitates learners to talk and
discuss their own and their classmates' processes/work in an informed and constructive
way. Base this discussion on the content in the CAPS.
Be skilled at listening. Dramatic Arts is about effective and skilled communication.
Practice and promote a culture of 'listening to understand' and not only 'listening to
dispute 'or 'disagree'. Be careful not to enforce a simplistic understanding of 'listening' to
ensure learners do not 'talk back' or express their points of view or the construct from
which they have worked. You may even have to change your well thought out position
based on knowledge you have as a teacher. There is not only one way of doing things,
but multiple ways.
It is important to view and discuss the body of work by a learner continuously throughout
the year. It helps to identify their strengths and improvement points. Teach learners to
record their experiences and feelings in a reflective manner in their individual process
journal. Apply the principle of: 'what is not documented did not happen'. This will help to
develop critical and creative thinking and will make the selection and ordering of ideas
more transparent and conscious.
Beware of damaging criticism. It is advisable to start with the positive and then move to
areas that can be improved. Enter into dialogue with a learner, e.g. 'I think it will be more
effective if you change this … What do you think?' This makes them feel part of the
process and makes them think about their work. Use coaching and de-briefing skills.
Create a space in which learners may disagree with you.
Guide learners to be effective, independent, critical, creative and reflective thinkers.
Do not underestimate learners; challenge them, as they often rise to the occasion. Use a
range of questions that extend and deepen learners' ability to re-consider their creative
choices. This should lead them to ask: 'If this is how it is now, how else can it be?'

Reflection:
As a starting point; reflection is best done against the agreed upon rubric criteria. Reflective
practices include reflection before, during and after a task. Teachers may also, as a learning tool,
use the rubric criteria as questions to debrief and reflect on the evidence produced by the learner.
At the end of each PAT (Written and Performance Sections) there should be reflection/feedback on
the work presented. Teachers need to share comments on the strengths and the weaknesses. This
will provide learning and improvement points for the learner to implement for continuous
development and mastery.
This may be either written or verbal feedback and it could take the form of: self-reflection,
class/teacher reflection and marking, peer reflection, open critique sessions guided by the
TEACHER as well as the learner.
HOW TO ADMINISTER THE PATs
Teachers must:
Ensure all resources, required to do the PATs, are available. See the DBE Catalogue for
Learning and Teaching Support Materials (LTSM).
Timetable sufficient time for learners' to complete the PATs (select contact time during
and/or after school).
Ensure you TEACH every CAPS topic, concept/skill and knowledge component
thoroughly. Facilitate a deep LEARNING process for each learner before the actual
assessment of the PAT's are administered.
Use the Guidelines for Standardisation for an Assessment, Essay and Research to
ensure the correct format, length, content etc. is applied across the nine provinces for the
assignment, essay and research.
Monitor that PATs are on schedule during the process.
Conduct informal continuous assessment.
Complete formal assessment; use the rubrics provided in this document.
Complete the Excel mark sheets/spread sheets provided by the province.
Follow school policy regarding submission of marks.
File the Lesson Plans as well as the Assessment Tasks' briefs and instructions as well
as the Assessment Tools (rubrics, marking guidelines, checklists) for the PATs, based on
the CAPS Topics, in the file called TEACHER FILE: LESSON PLANNING AND
ASSESSMENT TASKS PLANNING.
This file must be available for cluster, provincial and national moderation.
Record, on an ordinary cellphone, the Performance Sections of learners' PATs and
down load onto a DVD. This DVD must be available for moderation.
File the learners' completed assessment evidence of both the Performance Sections
(DVDs) and the Written Sections of the PATs in the file called:
LEARNER FILE: ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE. This file must be available for cluster,
provincial and national moderation.
All learners' Written Section and Performance Section evidence should be available at all
times and remains the property of the Department of Education until the final results are
released. Keep these written pieces and DVD-saved performances locked up in your
classroom. This is a school responsibility.
HOW TO MARK/ASSESS THE PATs
Teachers should ensure the assessment/marking of PATs:
Measures the achievement of the CAPS Broad Topics and Topics content:
Concepts/Skills/ Knowledge as well as the theoretical and performance components of
each topic.
Determines whether the Guideline for Standardisation of the Written Sections was
followed.
Uses the relevant rubrics for the:
o Theory Section: rubrics for the assignment, essay and research
o Performance Section: rubrics for a poem, monologue, prose, movement and extract
as well as the rubrics for the design, directing, film and stage management
Measures the learners' evidence and performance against the criteria and level
descriptors of the rubrics.

Dramatic Arts 7 DBE/PAT 2020
NSC
Adhere to the following principles of:
o Fairness:
An assessment should allow for learners of both genders and all backgrounds to do
equally well and for all to have an equal opportunity to demonstrate the skills and
knowledge being assessed. Fairness is jeopardized if bias exists in the task or in
the marker. For a task to be fair, its content, context, and performance expectations
should: reflect knowledge, skills, and experiences that are equally familiar and
appropriate to all learners. This should include access to research resources.
o Reliability:
An assessment is considered reliable when the same results occur regardless of
when the assessment occurs or who does the marking.
o Validity:
An indication of how well an assessment actually measures what it is supposed to
measure. A valid task should :
Reflect actual knowledge or performance, not test-taking skills and memorised
facts
Engage and motivate students to perform to the best of their ability
Be consistent with current educational theory and practice
Be rigorous in lesson plan design and teaching. This includes the design of
detailed instructions, activities and exercises. This promotes scaffolding of
thinking, planning for thinking, assessing thinking about content, recognising
the level of thinking students demonstrate.
Be relevant in lesson plan design and teaching. This enhances the learners'
ability to evaluate, justify, infer, predict, conclude, revise, recommend, argue,
prioritise, formulate, etc. A relevant task is when learners recognise the
connection between classroom knowledge and situations outside the
classroom.
MODERATION OF PATs
1. The moderation of the PAT's, although an important process, should be effected within
the context of the whole process of planning, teaching, learning, assessment and
moderation. The amount of time spent on moderating learner evidence should not
take away from the importance of moderation of teaching and learning.
2. It is important to be clear that the purpose of moderation should focus on whether the
CAPS Topics (skills, knowledge and content) have been TAUGHT and LEARNT.
3. Moderation is a shared understanding of several steps and processes. Familiarise
yourself with the meaning, purpose and scope of the following steps/processes:
Step 1: Verification
This is a quick and short first step in the moderation process. A checklist is used to tick
off which items of evidence, as required by policy, have been submitted for moderation.
Step 2: Moderation
A template that lends itself to analyse the spread and scaffolding of Blooms' Taxonomy's
6 cognitive levels and 4 thinking processes, as applied to the CAPS topics. Officials must
ensure moderation includes the following:
a. Lesson Plans: Are the lesson plan activities based on the content of the CAPS
topics?
b. Assessment Task Plans: Are the assessment task activities/briefs/instructions based
on the CAPS topics and the respective lesson plan?
c. Learner Assessment Evidence: Is the learner's assessment evidence based on the
CAPS + the respective lesson plan + the respective assessment task?
4. Standard Setting
Internal standardisation provides a system for checking the quality of assessment to
make sure that it is:
Valid – relevant to the standards for which competence/attainment is claimed
Authentic – produced by the learners
Current – sufficiently recent for assessors to be confident that the learner still has the
same level of skills or knowledge
Reliable – genuinely representative of the learner's knowledge and skills
Sufficient – meets all the requirements of the standards in full

This is the process in which it is determined if the minimum performance/
achievement levels, required for each grade/topic, has been accomplished. The
achievement levels are determined by the:
o Topic's skills, knowledge, content and concepts
o 6 cognitive levels
o 4 thinking processes
o 3 levels of difficulty
Evidence of this will be found in the instructions, activities, exercises, briefs, etc. of
the Lesson Plans, Assessment Task Plans and Learner Assessment Evidence which
officials must moderate.
It must be clear what learners should know and be able to do when they have
reached each level/topic.
5. Quality Assurance
Officials must ensure the processes of the following are followed and available as
evidence:
Teacher training: all Dramatic Arts teachers must have official higher education training to
offer the subject: minimum 3-year degree in Drama, PGCE as well as CAPS training
Teacher plans: above 1, 2 and 3 items of evidence must be of value and be fair, valid and
reliable. Clear teaching, learning and assessment of topics (skills, content, knowledge
and concepts) must be contained in each activity, exercise, instruction, brief, etc. These
must be scaffolded from lower to middle to higher order in terms of Blooms' Taxonomy.
6. Standardisation
Standardisation is a process used the world over to mitigate the effect of factors other
than the learners' knowledge and aptitude on the learners' performance. Officials must
use the moderation evidence to assist teachers to understand, interpret and implement
the CAPS topics' skills, knowledge, content and concepts
7. Moderation:
a. Should take place each time a PAT is completed.
b. Checks that assessment tasks and activities provide learners with fair and valid
opportunities to meet the standards and expectations of the CAPS.
c. Agrees on strengths in learners' performances and plans to improve skills and
knowledge.
d. Provides feedback on teacher judgments (setting and marking of PATs) to improve
teaching.
e. Raises standards and expectations and levels of consistency.
f. Ensures learning is at the appropriate level and that learners develop skills for
learning, life and work.
g. Should be conducted internally at school level, by a peer teacher/HOD/principal
before the cluster/provincial moderation.
h. Should involve teachers in the moderation process to ensure professional
development.
i. Should ensure interreliability in the awarding of marks.

3. LEARNER GUIDELINES
INSTRUCTIONS TO LEARNERS
Three PATs have to be completed during the year, one per term. Each of the three PATs
consists of a Written Section as well as a Performance Section. You have to complete both
and at all times integrate the theoretical and practical concepts, skills and content. Use these
three PATs to:
Select and prepare your three contrasting drama items for your end-of-year performance
examination. NOTE: To select an item a month before your final examination is not a good
idea, the reason being that emotional and physical integration takes time. You need months
to grow into a poem, etc.
Writing and theoretical conceptualisations, as well as higher-order thinking skills, take
practice. Use the three writing/theoretical sections to ensure you know how to write down
your thoughts, learning and experiences in a form that will achieve the aims, structure and
form of a written examination.

ABSENCE OR NON-SUBMISSION OF TASKS
Absence or non-submission of PATs will result in an INCOMPLETE mark.
Only if a valid medical certificate is presented the day the learner returns to school, can
another deadline for handing in or performing the PAT be decided on by both the teacher and
the learner.
REQUIREMENTS FOR PRESENTATION
See the list of Minimum Resources; Facilities, Equipment, LTSM, Timetabling, etc. that
should be in place before the PATs are taught, implemented and assessed. These resources
should be available to the teacher and the learners to complete the three PATs.
The teacher should draw up a Lesson Plan for ALL of the Topics being covered by a specific
PAT. In addition, a clear assessment brief with detailed Instructions should be facilitated with
the learners.
TIMEFRAMES
Teachers:
Teach, administer, assess and record and report on one PAT per term 1, 2 and 3.
Communicate in writing, exact, non-negotiable dates for handing in or performing the PATs.
Learners:
Ensure you follow the assessment brief and instructions. Hand in, or perform your PAT on
time to ensure you achieve a mark.
DECLARATION OF AUTHENTICITY
Practical tasks are not limited to a performance. The PAT tasks (1, 3, and 5) are a
preparation for your mid-year, trial and end-of-year written and performance exams.
Integrate the theory aspect of the PAT with the practical aspect.
Engage in planning, preparation, research, skills building and reflection before you hand in
your essay, research task or assignment.
Rehearse your performance items until you can perform fluently and with confidence. Use
these smaller opportunities to lay a foundation for your later theoretical and practical exam
work.
Learners will be required to answer practical-based questions in their final written paper.

4. LIST OF RESOURCES
The subject Dramatic Arts, like other subjects, requires specific resources for effective
teaching, learning, presentations and performances to be achieved. Due to the fact that the
subject is included on the designated list for higher education, officials from the Department
of Basic Education have a responsibility to ensure that there is an informed and committed
approach and that the minimum requirements are in place to ensure integrity in the teaching
and learning of the subject.
It is important to note that these resources need not be expensive or elaborate. It is equally
important that if a school is not able to provide these subject-specific resources, the subject
should preferably not be offered. Learners will be disadvantaged if resources such as the
DBE-screened textbook, the prescribed play texts, chairs, a reasonably functional
space/room for practical work are not available. (The DBE, through the annual norms and
standards, makes provision for minimum resources to be purchased for all the subjects
offered by a school. The school management committee or the equivalent of this body is
tasked to ensure every subject's needs are met.) In November/December of the previous
year teachers should ensure that the following basic resources are in evidence in the
Dramatic Arts classroom for a functional start to the new year.
HUMAN RESOURCES
A teacher with a drama qualification should teach and assess the CAPS and its respective
annual programme of assessment which includes the three PATs. A suitably qualified teacher
for this subject could have the following background:
Bachelor of Arts (Drama)
Bachelor of Education (Drama)
Licentiate in Drama Teaching, Trinity College
Diploma from LAMDA
Or any other officially accredited, 360-credit qualification in Drama
In addition to all of the above, a one-year post graduate certificate in teaching or diploma
in training.
Note the following is not an appropriate or sufficient qualification to teach Dramatic Arts:
The creative arts teacher
An actor/actress
A drama enthusiast
The English language teacher
The dance teacher
LTSM: EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES
Learners have to experiment with the use of space, levels, entrances and exits. The following
basic items will provide opportunity to fill the empty space creatively with set pieces etc.:
A double classroom, or an open space
4 x wooden blocks/cubes/plastic crates/chairs or an alternative affordable equivalent
(ensure that if plastic crates or chairs are used that they are strong enough to bear the
weight of performers)
4 x flat screens/hanging cloths/cardboard boxes or an alternative affordable alternative
4 x stage steps or an alternative affordable alternative
Tables and chairs serve as décor pieces
The following are not prerequisites, but would be advantageous; a stage, lighting and
sound facilities

ARTICULATION WITH GET
The teacher teaching drama in creative arts should ensure learners in Grades 8 and 9 receive
a solid foundation in the concepts: skills, knowledge and content of Drama. At the end of
Grade 9 it is suggested that interviews and auditions be held to ensure only learners who are
disciplined, hardworking, interested, committed and have potential are selected for FET
Dramatic Arts. Ensure that the class ratio for Grade 10 is as per the provincial set norm.
If Drama classes are too full injuries may occur and the interested and hardworking drama
learners may be disadvantaged because they will not receive the dedicated one on one
teaching required for drama.
TIMETABLING
Timetabling for Dramatic Arts requires a minimum of 4 hours per week during school time
and one hour after school. This hour ration is applicable to Grades 10, 11 and 12
respectively. Additional time is essential after school hours for completion of the PATs,
remediation, enrichment, rehearsals, performances and field trips to view drama
performances.
5. CONCLUSION
On completion of the practical assessment task learners should be able to demonstrate their
understanding of the industry, enhance their knowledge, skills, values and reasoning abilities
as well as establish connections to life outside the classroom and address real-world
challenges. The PAT furthermore develops learners' life skills and provides opportunities for
learners to engage in their own learning.

PAT EXAMPLES
NOTE:
These three Dramatic Items are only EXAMPLES of what type of Dramatic Item can be selected for the
Performance Section of the PAT.
NOTE:
The selection contains three different DRAMATIC ITEMS: Monologue + Poem + Scene and three different
GENRES: Elizabethan + Realism + Theatre of the Absurd.
Through selecting a variety of items and genres the learner is able to demonstrate versatility and the full
range of skills and knowledge required by the subject.
MONOLOGUE GENRE: ELIZABETHAN
HAMLET BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
HAMLET:
To be, or not to be--that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep--
No more--and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep--
To sleep--perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprise of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action. -- Soft you now,
The fair Ophelia! -- Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remembered.

POEM GENRE: REALISM
I AM AN AFRICAN
I am an African
Not because I was born there
But because my heart beats with Africa's
I am an African
Not because my skin is black
But because my mind is engaged by Africa
I am an African
Not because I live on its soil
But because my soul is at home in Africa
When Africa weeps for her children
My cheeks are stained with tears
When Africa honours her elders
My head is bowed in respect
When Africa mourns for her victims
My hands are joined in prayer
When Africa celebrates her triumphs
My feet are alive with dancing
I am an African
For her blue skies take my breath away
And my hope for the future is bright
I am an African
For her people greet me as family
And teach me the meaning of community
I am an African
For her wildness quenches my spirit
And brings me closer to the source of life
When the music of Africa beats in the wind
My blood pulses to its rhythm
And I become the essence of sound
When the colours of Africa dazzle in the sun
My senses drink in its rainbow
And I become the palette of nature
When the stories of Africa echo round the fire
My feet walk in its pathways
And I become the footprints of history
I am an African
Because she is the cradle of our birth
And nurtures an ancient wisdom
I am an African
Because she lives in the world's shadow
And bursts with a radiant luminosity
I am an African
Because she is the land of tomorrow
And I recognise her gifts as sacred

SCENE GENRE: THEATRE OF THE ABSURD
WAITING FOR GODOT BYSAMUEL BECKETT
ESTRAGON: (to Pozzo). Everything seems black to him today.
POZZO: Except the firmament. (He laughs, pleased with this witticism.) But I see what it is, you
are not from these parts, you don't know what our twilights can do. Shall I tell you? (Silence.
Estragon is fiddling with his boot again, Vladimir with his hat.) I can't refuse you. (Vaporizer.)
A little attention, if you please. (Vladimir and Estragon continue their fiddling, Lucky is half
asleep. Pozzo cracks his whip feebly.) What's the matter with this whip? (He gets up and cracks
it more vigorously, finally with success. Lucky jumps. Vladimir's hat, Estragon's boot, Lucky's
hat, fall to the ground. Pozzo throws down the whip.) Worn out, this whip. (He looks at Vladimir
and Estragon.) What was I saying?
VLADIMIR: Let's go.
ESTRAGON: But take the weight off your feet, I implore you, you'll catch your death.
POZZO: True. (He sits down. To Estragon.) What is your name?
ESTRAGON: Adam.
POZZO: (who hasn't listened). Ah yes! The night. (He raises his head.) But be a little more
attentive, for pity's sake, otherwise we'll never get anywhere. (He looks at the sky.) Look! (All
look at the sky except Lucky who is dozing off again. Pozzo jerks the rope.) Will you look at the
sky, pig! (Lucky looks at the sky.) Good, that's enough. (They stop looking at the sky.) What is
there so extraordinary about it? Qua sky. It is pale and luminous like any sky at this hour of the
day. (Pause.) In these latitudes. (Pause.) When the weather is fine. (Lyrical.) An hour ago (he
looks at his watch, prosaic) roughly (lyrical) after having poured forth even since (he hesitates,
prosaic) say ten o'clock in the morning (lyrical) tirelessly torrents of red and white light it begins
to lose its effulgence, to grow pale (gesture of the two hands lapsing by stages) pale, ever a
little paler, a little paler until (dramatic pause, ample gesture of the two hands flung wide apart)
pppfff! finished! it comes to rest. But– (hand raised in admonition)– but behind this veil of
gentleness and peace, night is charging (vibrantly) and will burst upon us (snaps his fingers)
pop! like that! (his inspiration leaves him) just when we least expect it. (Silence. Gloomily.)
That's how it is on this bitch of an earth. Long silence.
ESTRAGON: So long as one knows.
VLADIMIR: One can bide one's time.
ESTRAGON: One knows what to expect.
VLADIMIR: No further need to worry.
ESTRAGON: Simply wait.
VLADIMIR: We're used to it. He picks up his hat, peers inside it, shakes it, puts it on.
POZZO: How did you find me? (Vladimir and Estragon look at him blankly.) Good? Fair?
Middling? Poor? Positively bad?

VLADIMIR: (first to understand). Oh very good, very very good.
POZZO: (to Estragon). And you, Sir?
ESTRAGON: Oh tray bong, tray tray tray bong.
POZZO: (fervently). Bless you, gentlemen, bless you! (Pause.) I have such need of
encouragement! (Pause.) I weakened a little towards the end, you didn't notice?
VLADIMIR: Oh perhaps just a teeny weeny little bit.
ESTRAGON: I thought it was intentional.
POZZO: You see my memory is defective. Silence.
ESTRAGON: In the meantime, nothing happens.
POZZO: You find it tedious?
ESTRAGON: Somewhat.
POZZO: (to Vladimir). And you, Sir?
VLADIMIR: I've been better entertained. Silence. Pozzo struggles inwardly.
POZZO: Gentlemen, you have been . . . civil to me.
ESTRAGON: Not at all!
VLADIMIR: What an idea!
POZZO: Yes yes, you have been correct. So that I ask myself is there anything I can do in my
turn for these honest fellows who are having such a dull, dull time.
ESTRAGON: Even ten francs would be a help.
VLADIMIR: We are not beggars!
POZZO: Is there anything I can do, that's what I ask myself, to cheer them up? I have given
them bones, I have talked to them about this and that, I have explained the twilight, admittedly.
But is it enough, that's what tortures me, is it enough?
ESTRAGON: Even five.
VLADIMIR: (to Estragon, indignantly). That's enough!
ESTRAGON: I couldn't accept less.
