Eddie du Pisanie, portrayed by Ashley Dowds, a forty-six-year-old salesman from the East Rand, finds himself laid off and feeling hopeless. Audiences can view the production between Friday, 10 May and Sunday, 26 May 2024.
Contemplating ending his life, he begins to write a farewell letter to his wife before intending to asphyxiate himself in his car inside the garage. However, a serendipitous moment occurs as he switches on the car radio. The Elvis Presley song playing not only transports him back three decades but also triggers memories of a pivotal event from his childhood, forever altering his perspective on life.
