Smoke is a seriocomic, solo driven piece starring Ernie De Silva and rapper/poet Eternal Mind. The story finds our main character locked in a battle of epic proportions for control of his creative voice. On one side stands the ancient forces inherent to all humans, and on the other the influence of modern day pharmaceuticals. Who wins in the end? Director Ann Noble cleverly crafts Smoke's journey into a rollercoaster ride that is sometimes poignant, other times irreverent, always touching and most importantly...relevant.
