Reviewed by:  Kimberley BuchanBarbara Frame (Otago Daily Times);

In purgatory. Three Urns. From each, a head protrudes – a man, his wife and his mistress. 

A bitter love triangle. Each character embroiled. Each head provoked into speech by spotlight. 

"Adulterers, take warning, never admit."

 Fortune Theatre in collaboration with South Island designers - sculptor Hannah Kidd and sound engineer Stephen Kilroy - present PLAY by Samuel Beckett.

Directed by Lara Macgregor, this fusion of visual art, soundscapes and rapidly delivered dialogue creates a truly genre-defying live art installation not to be missed.

PLAY is 20 minutes in duration and will be performed in repetition during the view hours. Stay for 5 minutes or watch the whole thing over and over again.
