Be | Longing: A Verbatim Play

Written by: Theatre Studies, University of Otago
Directed by: Hilary Halba and Stuart Young

From the makers of Hush comes a new documentary play focusing on stories from people who have migrated to New Zealand, and asking what it means to belong to a country and culture. This unique kind of theatre demands a lot from the actors, who mimic interviews from real people, perfectly reproducing every mannerism from a small movement to a slight intonation of the voice. With a variety of accents to take on board it sounds like a challenging piece of work but will be gold to see on the stage. After their glorious return from taking the piece to Auckland you know it can’t be missed, so book now!

Allen Hall Theatre, 1 - 4 & 7 - 10 March
