 Brent Palmer’s whodunnit takes particular delight in re-inventing the genre for a distinctly “New South African” group of characters. Sardonic comedy underlies the tension of the play, and as the three “witnesses” start to give up their secrets, Palmer throws a spotlight onto the crises of masculinity being experienced by each of the men.
