Owls Do Cry: Cancelled
Update: Regretfully, Red Leap Theatre has made the decision to cancel the remaining dates of their 'Owls Do Cry' North Island tour. Read their official cancellation announcement here.
New Zealand's Red Leap Theatre Company is bound to take you into an immersive theatrical experience with their latest adaptation of Janet Frame's landmark novel 'Owls Do Cry'. Filled with fierce heart and visual splendour, this touring programme is set to grace renowned theatres in Whangarei, Hastings and Hamilton this March.
Rather than creating a direct narrative staging, Red Leap have taken inspiration from Frame's rich imagery and poetry to create a multi-disciplinary dreamscape. The production uses multimedia including live music, song, poetry, dynamic movement and AV—contemporising Frame's masterwork all the whilst keeping, capturing and revealing her still pertinent insights into society.
Some of Aotearoa's best creative minds have come together to explore the themes of the novel—of resilience through struggle and of living life with open hands and hearts. The production was created by a powerhouse team led by artistic director Julie Nolan and directed by Malia Johnston. The cast is made up of an incredible host of performers: Ross McCormack (Triumphs and Other Alternatives, System), Margaret-Mary Hollins (Last Legs, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night), Hannah Lynch (RUSHES, The Visit), Red Leap Theatre's Associate Director Ella Becroft (Dust Pilgrim, In Dark Places), Arlo Gibson (Step Dave, Mating in Captivity), and Comfrey Sanders (Jekyll and Hyde, Shortland Street – The Musical).
Book your seats quick and let Owls Do Cry recapture your imaginations with its contemporary theatrical scenes this March!
