Bard Productions, the innovative theatre troupe that brought you Frogs Under the Waterfront in 2009, is back in action with a theatrical adventure taking place on Somes Island.
This February the New Zealand Fringe Festival plays host to an historical horror on Somes Island - bringing to life the eerie stories of the human quarantines of the 1800s.
Suspected to have contracted severely communicable diseases, the audience will be taken from Wellington City to the island on a chartered ferry, at dusk. Subjected to the archaic medical practices of a forgotten past and locked away in a disused convalescence chamber until they are fit to return to civilisation, the audience will come face to face with the supernatural stories of this mysterious island… and will be lucky to escape with their lives.
Supported by Sir Richard Taylor with make-up and masks designed by his award-winning Weta Workshop team.
