Rive Productions will present the world premiere of Jessica Siân's play Klippies at the Southwark Playhouse in south London from 13 May to 6 June 2015, with an official opening on 18 May 2015.

Directed by Chelsea Walker and designed by Holly Pigott, this new play follows a rehearsed reading at HighTide Festival in 2013. Further creative team and cast information is yet to be announced.

"Johannesburg. 2014. Summer. Yolandi is listening to rap-rave music and helping her brother bust parts from her teacher's car. Thandi is swotting for her exams and keeping well away from any distractions. In the stifling heat, two teenagers collide. Downing Klipdrift brandy, they create an alliance away from everything else. But scars take time to heal and, as the thunder threatens to strike, the real world crashes in."

Playwright Jessica Siân is a South-African born playwright and actor based in London. This is her first full-length play.
