Synopsis

ROUNDING THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE begins with Henry the Navigator who was largely responsible for initiating Europe s seminal voyages during the Age of Discoveries. It continues many years later with the recruitment of sailors and the crew s subsequent naval expedition under Bartolomeu Dias. This imaginative account of that first voyage down to the southern tip of Africa has many dramatic and humorous moments, including love relationships, a storm, and a mutiny. I wrote this play for my class of 25 seventh graders, wishing to give them the opportunity of presenting dramatically what they were also covering in the curriculum.
