Based on a tragic South African event of 14 January 2008, that took place in the small informal settlement
of SKIERLIK. The play takes us on Thomas personal journey, returning back to his home of Skierlik, years
after he left the place following the loss his daughter and wife on the eventful day. This heartfelt, traumatic,
and thought provoking story of love, loss, and hope, paints poetic pictures with words, as told by the
masterful story-teller that is Phillip Dikotla.
