The story is portrayed against the South African landscape as seen through the eyes of a child, the child being South Africa as a young democracy.

 

In Tears we witness how the thoughts of nine characters representing different spheres of society erupt from their experiences and their feelings result in tears. The play takes us through a journey of understanding what they feel and cry for, whether they are tears of joy  or tears of sadness. Wrapped around their feelings are the core hints of sexual frustration, political power, education, racial suggestions, loss, hopelessness and secrets. The heaviness of this eruption has a rippling effect on the whole country, for what the child experiences in his childhood, influences and changes his perception of the country.
