Masvingo Theatre and Arts Club Charles Austin Theatre is ready to play a drama written and produced by one of its club members Mhlauli Mlalazi at Charles Austin Theatre on October 21.
The film titled Brains over Emotions focuses on the challenges faced by people in marriages and offers various solutions.
Mlalazi said the drama is focused on educating people to use their mind to solve challenges they may be facing in their marriages than using emotions, saying the latter results in unwanted and unexpected regrettable consequences.
“Brains over Emotions is a drama which is more of a campaign focused on enlightening people to solve challenges they face in marriages. It encourages the affected to use their minds instead of emotions as those who use emotions end up being arrested or doing absurd things that are not acceptable in our society.
“So no matter how painful the situation might be let us try to use our minds so that we solve problems in a mindful and amicable way,” said Mlalazi.
The drama features a mixed bag of popular and upcoming actors and actresses with different backgrounds giving a chance to upcoming actors to share stages with successful ones.
Mlalazi said the drama is his first drama to be staged though he has written short films such as Tatenda and A letter to my nephew which were not premiered due to lack of resources.
“I have written a short film called Tatenda and another called A letter to my nephew, but because of resources they were not premiered or staged therefore, Brains Over Emotions is my first theatre drama to be staged,” he said.
He went on to call upon all local artists be it song writers, actors, singers or any other to utilize the theatre which he said was for artists not club committee members or Masvingo City Council.
“Charles Austin is giving all artists an opportunity and platform to nurture their talents and all those who do different works of art are welcome to the theatre to realize their full potential.
“The theatre is not for committee members or Masvingo City Council, but for all artists and the club is there to assist people cultivate their talents,” said Mlalazi.
