Ipi Zombie? was written and produced by South African playwright Brett Bailey in 1998 and was presented at the Grahamstown Festival. It is a surrealistic treatment of the outbreak of witchcraft hysteria which broke out in Kokstad after twelve boys had been killed in minivan crash. Some of the piece is drawn from sacred shamanic Xhosa ceremonies which Bailey studied extensively. The play attempts to examine how terrible fears and bereavement can become an evil force, how people struggle against or are seduced by this force, and how wishing to remain an unaffected spectator at such scenes of affliction raises its own moral questions. The UFS Drama Department performance directed by visiting professor Charles Dumas consists of nine multicural student actors playing multiple roles
