The 30-minute mini-musical Lucky the Hero! is the first production of the Educational Theatre Company and is full of facts, humour and emotional impact. It is presented in Afrikaans and English, and mostly as a combination of both. The aim of this interactive play is to motivate behaviour changes through education. The play was written in such a way that it includes monitoring and evaluation protocol, so that its effect and success as an educational tool can be measured. Thousands of people have had the honour and pleasure of seeing Lucky and feedback shows that the play has been received very enthusiastically. People are better informed after completing the monitoring and evaluation protocol and are more motivated to do something about HIV/AIDS related matters.
