Green Man Flashing is a fast-paced political thriller written in a filmic style. It explores themes of personal and political violence, as well as the lengths people will go to in the name of greater political good. All this is played out against the backdrop of a young democracy still dealing with its racist history, but where violence against women is of national crisis proportions.

What’s holding you back? What are you afraid of? For Gwendoline, it’s everything. A woman with metal teeth, brittle bones and a quacking heart, she lives behind-the-scenes.
