 A political satire about a superficially liberal white couple negotiating post-apartheid challenges, it is described by the author as "a comedy drama about a forty-something, white, superficially liberal, heterosexual couple with two teenage daughters living in, and coming to terms with, post-apartheid South Africa, and more specifically in Cape Town with its historical race divisions" (Mike van Graan Website[https://mikevangraan.co.za/plays/two-to-tango]).
-At the obvious level, since the play is about the give and take of relationships, the title is an abbreviation of the platitude “it takes two to tango”. At another level, marriage is a metaphor for South African society as a whole, implying that in order for it work, it requires commitment, compromise and cooperation from all who live in it..
+The play was submitted to the 2005 [[NLDTF/PANSA Festival of Reading of New Writing]] (Comedy) where it was a finalist, and subsequently premiered at the Liberty Theatre on the Square in April 2006
