A Log in the Eye

Mulika School is the venue for two competitions: a Public Speaking Contest and the school presidency elections. Christopher and Anastasia, learners at the School, find themselves on opposing sides during the Public Speaking Contest, where they speak passionately about matters close to their hearts. The outcome of the contest sets the stage for a face-off between the two during the school presidency elections, which follow. To what lengths will they each go to emerge victorious? Is it possible for winners and losers to be cordial and coexist in peace?

A Log in the Eye sheds light on the consequences of unhealthy competition dominated by deceit, malice and jealousy. It explores contemporary themes such as mental health, discrimination, elections, technology and reconciliation.
