The original text
The performance piece is set in the present and tells the story of Tannie Van der Wat, who is almost 94 years old, a recluse for the past 30 years, who is prompted to vocalize her long stored up emotions by visits from the Meals on Wheels representative, a volunteer who cannot speak and who serves as a mirror image for her memories of times past.
