I am a teacher at Domino Servite School in South Africa. I am interested in obtaining the script: Mother of all the Peoples to perform as a school stage drama at our school this year. I noticed that a CD of the drama is available for purchase. Would this have the music used in the drama on it?

I look forward to your reply.

Kind regards
Estelle Gouws
