five slices of another life

A poster image of grainy, colourful cartoon images of all the cast in different poses, any visible disabilities clear to see. They have a variety of expressions, from happy to frowning, pensive to delighted.

What’s it about?

Two women wait to be rescued from a burning building. Another finds salvation in a box of chickens. Things get awkward in a cafe. A detective investigates himself, and a blind seer delivers one last prophecy.

Five new Kiwi short plays, written by and featuring disabled and neurodiverse folk – are you ready to step into another life?

Development season at BATS Theatre, Wellington.
