Jackson Biko’s sizzling writing needs no introduction. His superpower as a writer lies in his wit as he peels layers of the lives of his characters in his award-winning blog bikozulu.com.
Now, imagine his writing coming to life on stage, with characters nailing down his prose to a T. It’s not very difficult to imagine, as Biko’s writing lends itself beautifully to dramatisation.
