The Things You Left Behind by Jason Potgieter.

The original text

It is a heartfelt and elegiac play about the delicate beauty of human life. Its often humourous story is told via a series of mismatched characters who've never met each other, yet whose lives are inexplicably entwined through an accident. Winner of a Standard Bank Silver Ovation award at National Arts Festival 2013.
