Solitude

"When the Roaring Lion calls my Henry,I'm dreaming hours down to minutes..."

In 1913 Annie enters the remote mountains of Kahurangi National Park to live a hidden life with her lover Henry Chaffey.

Forty years in exile, swallowed by the silence, enslaved by fire. this beautiful, touching true story is about Annie Chaffey's love, loneliness, loss and laughter. An old story from a new perspective.

"Solitude is storytelling at it's finest. Writer, director and performer, Martine Baanvinger of Dramalab, is utterly compelling, humorous and breathtakingly honest as Annie. Not only is this interesting New Zealand story but it is told by an expert in an incredibly imaginative and touching way" - Nelson Fringe Festival.
