Gary Stalker’s moody New Zealand play, Loving Kurt Vonnegut is somehow simultaneously a dark comedy, thriller and love story about three-way relationships. Intrigued? We are.
Led by Kiwi theatre veteran, David Aston (Spies and Lies, Lord of the Rings, The Matrix) and directed by Paul Gittins, the genre-defying play tells the story of famous writer Colin Freeman who struggles with creative decline and a degenerative illness. So, he and his girlfriend set out to method write his last great novel, casting themselves as characters, and twenty-something lone wolf and in-between relationships passerby Casey as their protagonist.
Things get weird, boundaries get blurred, people get used. Loving Kurt Vonnegut has the makings of a great show.
