The boundaries between fantasy and reality become blurred as he begins to live in an increasingly illusionary world dominated by his sexy, assertive writing goddess. His girlfriend Pinky, innocently drawn into his passionate internal world, soon starts to suffer as she comes to understand the depths of Sipho’s passion for Thandi.

Although Pinky attempts to resuscitate the romance, she is frustrated by the fact that her rival in love, Thandi, is emerging as the perfect woman, the stuff every man’s dreams.

This is a tale about the difficulties of writing and of star-crossed lovers, told with great verve by author Monde Mayephu and all-star cast, featuring Sello Maake kaNcube, Mmabatho Mogomotsi and Zandile Msutwana and directed by Mpho J Molepo

The Market Theatre Precinct was once a thriving Indian produce market, built in the 1900s. Saved from bulldozers by a small group of art activists the Market Theatre is now central to Johannesburg's cultural heritage.
