These are the Skeletons of Us

Elephant Nation is proud to present These Are the Skeletons of Us, a brand new play from the people who brought you Titus and The Night Before the Morning After. With their previous work being touted as ‘ingenious’ and ‘poignant’, this original new play is sure to delight audiences.

‘Hindsight is a beautiful thing’. Follow the story of Guy as he looks back on his first truly loving relationship immediately after a sudden break up. Surrounded by things that inhabit his home but don’t belong to him he begins to sift through the ‘bones’ of his relationship. With the supervision and the support of his two friends he begins to look back and try and figure out where it all went wrong.

A love story backwards in the vain of modern classics, such as ‘Eternal Sunshine of A Spotless Mind’ and ‘500 days of Summer’. The audience is taken into the journey of this less than perfect relationship told through the eyes of a young man.

Collaborating to create the memories of this unconventional love story Sean Webb and Perlina Lau have created an original score that sets the tone to this exciting fresh work.

This new play by Chris Neels features some of Auckland’s best young talent including Nic Sampson (History Boys, Space Race, Idiots), Chelsea McEwan Millar (Flightless Birds, Find Me), Andrew Ford (Idea of America, Boys Life, History Boys) and Colin Garlick (Really Good at Auditions). These Are the Skeletons of Us, only for a brief five show season as part of Elephant Nation’s double bill at The Basement Theatre.

As part of the Elephant Nation Double Bill with The Terrific Tale of Tabatha Talmus.
