Icky: CANCELLED

In the stomach of the icky and yucky process that is grief, Icky is a dramedy about a struggling university student processing their father’s death. They retell moments, thoughts and stories throughout their life – but they realise there's a more sinister truth they have yet to process.

This is a brand new work by award-winning Oh That Theatre Company, written by Viki Moananu (The Ghost Show, Beard) and directed by Lizzy Burton-Wood (The Ghost Show, Knights of the Table, Five Words or Less).

With Icky, Moananu won the award for Best Play by a Pasifika Playwright at the Adam NZ Play Award 2023, and was shortlisted in Playmarket’s 2023 Playwrights B425 competition. Icky is a story that finds our protagonist re-evaluating life in the most reasonable way possible. By blowing it up.

Trigger warning: mentions of suicide, sexual assault, racism, and death.
