Overview
Auckland Theatre Company’s The Gift is a funny, provocative play about the anxieties of marriage, parenthood and creative life and reminds audiences why they should be careful what they wish for.
Sadie (Sarah Peirse) and Ed (Marshall Napier) meet Martin (Simon London) and Chloe (Laura Hill) at a luxurious Pacific Island resort and instantly hit it off, despite coming from completely different worlds. When Martin saves Ed’s life, everyone knows the debt can never be properly repaid.
But Ed is rich and Chloe and Martin have a need so great it seems divine providence when Ed, wanting to show his gratitude, offers to grant them whatever they wish for. But what they want is surely a wish nobody could possibly grant. Spiced with playwright Joanna Murray-Smith's spiky dialogue, The Gift is an incisive, witty examination of our modern moral confusions.
