The play is a comedic dramatization of the largely forgotten Herero and Namaqua genocide which took place in Namibia between 1904 and 1907 when the region was a German colony , after Germany confiscated tribal lands and the Herero people rebelled . The retribution over four years by German soldiers resulted in more than 65,000 deaths . The play deals with the enormity of this story by introducing it through the actors of a " presentation " which is intended to tell the story , and shows how the various players respond to the gruesome facts during first rehearsal
