From Page Left (the Production Company that brought you McKenzie Country) comes the international debut of Sketch by Kate Morris.

Described by the BBC Writers' Room as “particularly inventive”, Sketch is an award winning new stage play by New Zealand playwright Kate Morris. It won NZ Young Playwright in 2009 and was Runner-Up for the Adam NZ Play Award (Best New NZ Play) that same year.

Sketch follows the inception and journey of a provocative exhibition by a Japanese artist that explores the nature of truth and art against the backdrop of a crumbling family relationship.

Directed by Chapman Tripp award winner Eleanor Bishop (Most Promising New Director 2009 for The Intricate Art of Actually Caring by Eli Kent) the production is paired with a strong design aesthetic helmed by Alice Hill and Thomas Press, with a cast composed of some of Wellington's most exciting established and emerging talent.
