Where does Johnny Boskak fit in the ‘new South Africa’? Is he a white trash dinosaur? Or is he the last cowboy hero in boots and blue jeans? What we know is that he’s on the road, looking for love, redemption, an AK47 and the quickest way out of Secunda…

I think that was the 4th time I've savored this show after having seen it in Grahamstown back then. It's an epic poem delivered with energy;conviction and admirable passion.

Extremely intelligent look at the white ou , this stuff needs to be said , a ‘me too ‘ for the post traumatised guys forgotten by a pc society. Delivered in a multi metaphorical rhyming slang and physical theatre that is so absorbing and real I was transported and stunned by the flawless intensity.
