I Won’t Be Happy Until I Lose One of My Limbs

In a tiny town at the bottom of the world, there is about to be an apocalypse. It will require party supplies.

Win-Win Biscuit Factory in association with Stamp at The Edge brings you the amazing, trueish tale of a girl who won’t be completely unless she loses a limb.

Budding artist O’Gradient receives constant ego primping from her followers ‘The Nobodies’ and her mysterious invisible friend Bob. Nevertheless, she feels incomplete and fantasises about suffering; specifically, having one less leg. Barney and his mother seem to have misplaced Barney’s father. Derek works the ladies all day, with special approval from God, and Ping his girlfriend makes the same mistake over and over again. Their town Love Mountain is falling down around their ears.

Writer Julie Hill (Stories Told To Me By Girls), director Andrew Foster (A Clockwork Orange) and designer Stephen Bain (Kafka’s The Trial) blend a heady mix of original music, high-energy performance, surreal humour and brutal honesty to create an absurdist dissection of Kiwi life.

Dark yet surprisingly light hearted, Win Win Biscuit Factory’s I Won’t Be Happy Until I Lose One of My Limbs performed by Nisha Madhan (The House of Bernarda Alba, What Have You Done To Me?, Shortland Street) and Jeremy Randerson (Home By Christmas, The Allmighty Johnsons, Carry on Randerson), is an original New Zealand production set in a fantastical world that envelopes and delights the audience and will appeal to lovers of the surreal, the humorous and the intriguing.
