15 March to 24 March 2016 - BATS Theatre Wellington

 

Wolf; the tale of trust, betrayal, alienation, duplicity, secrets and lies, set against the background of the earth, the council, insurers, and the government, turning against earthquake hit residents in Christchurch. Oh and wolves. You can't ignore wolves.

 

Following a successful season in Christchurch in 2013, Oily Rag Theatre is bringing Wolf to BATS in time for autumn and Easter. Be lulled into a civilised illusory bubble before the true nature of the world rips through to get you.

 

From Tim Barcode, writer of a range of successful plays, including: Gaffe; Location Location; Cafe Dement; Geeks Bearing Gifts; The Adjudicator (winner of the 2000 NZTF One Act Play Festival)

Treachery exists in many forms. We can see the evil, the injustices, the crimes, and their sources can be located and defined. We identify the darkness in neglect, denial, misjudgements, dismissal of rights, the injustices led by Governance systems, insurance companies, thieves, bad neighbours, and those we know. But it's closer than that. It's not there: it's here. It dwells in our institutions, our systems, our families, friends, and ultimately in us. The lies we tell ourselves, live by, defend and act on are where it starts. The Werewolves we need to fear are very close. - Tim Barcode
