"Relativity" is a contemporary, epic tale exploring the underbelly of South African township life. At the centre of the drama is a serial killer, the "G-String Strangler", who is hunting down young women at night. Surrounding this elusive figure is a wide cast of colourful characters, including a runaway daughter who finds solace in the arms of a hoodlum; a drunkard father whose wife leaves him for a man called "Lovemore", and who hires an assassin to kill her daughter's abusive boyfriend; a police sergeant who tortures his suspects and sexually abuses his son; a tavern owner who shares the same lover as her daughter; as well as the ghost of the serial killer's mother, who returns to haunt him during moments of great anguish! "Relativity" has the range of characters, epic sweep and culture of violence reminiscent of Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather films and Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" - only here there is no God to redeem the fallen; the world of the play is a world of moral ambiguity and relative values. The play also debunks the myth that people living in poverty and anguish inevitably find refuge in singing and dancing: they can also find it in religious fanaticism and, more damaging, in alcohol, sex and violence - even murder. Told with great formal playfulness and touches of deadly irony, "Relativity" manages to be highly entertaining even while it is being revelatory and instructive.
