"Text Me When You Arrive : How to not get raped and killed in South Africa" is a powerful, satirical and physical exploration of the plight of the every day South African women through the lens of a playful YouTube channel.

The three ladies explore how she navigates her way through the “rules” set by rape culture, patriarchy and social media in her daily life on her seemingly impossible mission to not get raped and killed in South Africa.


Audience Responses

Energised, engaging and straight up enjoyable (and self-questioningly so at many points).

Wow, just wow. What a powerful message did this play carry. I couldn't even understand a large part of it (I am a foreigner) but the play was so strong. I also really really liked it that there was time for dialogue afterwards and to hear how this play touched different people in the audience. In this way, you guys shed light on a social issue but also let different opinions react. Therefore, I think you guys achieved your goal. Making topics like this discussable by women AND men. Keep doing what you do because you really inspired me!
