Daffodils

By Rochelle Bright, inspired by true events
Remixes by LIPS and Abraham Kunin

This is far more than boy meets girl. This is real-life romance – Kiwi cabaret style.

Pull the cover off your favourite vinyl and discover a rich sonic world in the award-winning hit Daffodils. Travel through a landscape of live music and heart-aching theatre in this beautiful love story about a teddy boy and a farm girl: their first meeting, their marriage and the New Zealand pop-rock soundtrack that shapes their lives.

Inspired by private letters, interviews and family myths, the production unfolds against a backdrop of 1960’s Kodak stills, home movies and fashion photography created by Garth Badger (Lorde). The story is brought to life by Todd Emerson (TV’s Westside), Colleen Davis (Chicago) and a live three-piece band led by Silver Scroll Award-winning artist Stephanie Brown (LIPS).
