The original text
Gone Camping is a fireside storybook brought to life by playwright and performer, Jason Potgieter. It is based on events experienced by Potgieter in Cape Town, South Africa, between 1990 and 1996. The piece contains five humorous monologues borne from his love of people-watching and performs characters from different social backgrounds, age-groups and even species, all brought together by a place where the struggles and worries of everyday life are discarded in favour of flimsy tents, mosquito repellent, midnight skinny dipping and the great outdoors.
