A multi-award winning team of Wellington’s finest theatre professionals presents a new work by New Zealand’s most promising young playwright PAUL ROTHWELL (Golden Boys, Deliver Us, Christmas Indoors) THE BLACKENING, opening at BATS Theatre, Wellington in June.

Jed Brophy features as Mal, who left home as a wayward teen in search of a grander life. Now, years later he returns as a broken man with many secrets to hide.

The two brothers he abandoned on their dilapidated orchard welcome him cautiously. Brother Dan is resentful and suspicious – has bad boy Mal really mended his ways? Younger brother Broody struggles to remember his other brother at all, but could Mal be his key to freedom from the dying orchard?

Time seems to have stood still in the home of his youth and Mal intends to start over and do things right.

But as he discovers, the old orchard holds secrets of it’s own.

THE BLACKENING features set/costume design by Tony De Goldi, lighting design by multi Chapman Tripp Award winning designer Jennifer Lal; and a stunning surround-soundscape created for the show by Stephen Gallagher (The Lovely Bones).

THE BLACKENING is directed + produced by Paul McLaughlin (HOTEL).
