... new titles ... new challenges ... new rewards ...

An apocalyptic science fiction fantasy.

The end of the world, as predicted in the book of Revelations, is at hand. The Righteous are making ready to rocket up into the skies in search of a better life elsewhere, leaving the meek, the rabble, to inherit what remains of the earth.

A rather sinister portrayal of the murky divide between good and evil, passive and active, order and chaos.

"The Velvet City" was performed in Pretoria and Grahamstown, South Africa. The Mail & Guardian said it was "sure to be an offbeat highlight" of the National Arts Festival. (June 1996)

The text is soon to be adapted into a graphic novel by London-based artist, Harry Penberth.
