Hope the Rhino

Adapted for the stage by Moira Katz
Based on the book The Horn of Africa by 12-year-old author Taskeen Waddee

Hope, the rhino calf, is exploring the land with his mother when suddenly, they’re attacked by poachers. Twelve-year-old author Taskeen describes imaginatively the rhino calf’s journey through the harsh environment, using its horn as a survival tool. Is there hope to save the white rhino from extinction? The story, performed with a mix of English and Zulu, creates awareness around animal conservation, environmental protection and delivers hope for the future.
