View source for Little Red Riding Hood and The Big, Bad Metaphors

''[[Little Red Riding Hood and The Big, Bad Metaphors]]'' is a play by [[Mike van Graan]] (1959-). 

==Original text==

Van Graan was commissioned by the [[University of Pretoria]] to produce a play on the theme of the Sustainable Development Goals, during his residency at the university in 2019. In 2021, the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) prescribed the play for study at IEB schools.

''[[Little Red Riding Hood and The Big, Bad Metaphors]]''  is a stinging trip as it rips through GBV [gender based violence], poverty, hunger, climate change, carbon emissions, corruption, elections and poses that ultimately it is down to us to do something –personally, politically; individually  and collectively.
