Description

A thousand people are taking a sip of coffee within the city limits of Johannesburg, each unaware of the other doing it, each one necessarily thinking they are the only one. An attempt to get to grips with the fact that everything happens at once. And to see if theres anything we can do about it. Find the connection between where you are and where I am. Open up the space between us and do something.

Reviews

Thorpe's text contains a couple of nods to Sarah Kane, and Caryl Churchill, but the dark angel hovering over the play is JG Ballard. The system is fragile; weak... a powerful piece of new writing -- and a stunning evocation of the nihilistic reality of the contemporary world.' Aleks Sierz, The Arts Desk
