AFRICAN GOTHIC

Rez de Wet - 2003

The play is set on a desolate farm in rural South Africa. The story follows the lives of an orphaned brother and sister who have grown up without parental supervision. They have allowed their farm to fall to ruin by blocking out the outside world and creating a fantasy world in which they live. An officious lawyer visits them and threatens to upset the very existence they have created. The plot unfolds with an edgy dark humour and climaxes with a dramatic twist that will bring audiences to the edge of their seats.
