Set in a non-specific maximum security prison, The Antidote investigates the high level and impact of crime in South Africa. The audience is challenged to consider the true nature of the prison system and who it really serves- are they becoming mafia havens or places of reform? Through the journey of The Antidote, questions of gangsterism, reformation exercises, the nature of imprisonment and finally the question of a possible antidote to this social ill are considered.
