Panic

A one-person, poetic meditation on climate change commissioned by Siv Ngesi, premiered at the National Arts Festival in July 2013.

Introduction

Siv Ngesi commissioned me to write a one-person show for him that would have international legs, and that would provide a platform to showcase his talents beyond stand-up comedy which had been very good to him.

Thus was Panic born as a poetic reflection on the global theme of climate change, but set within an South African context.
