Heat

Written by: Lynda Chanwai-Earle
Directed by: David O'Donnell

What would you do if you found your wife in bed with an Emperor Penguin?

"A gripping tale of magical realism" - Dominion Post

Award-winning theatre piece Heat brings its own alternative energy to power an original love story between a woman, a man and a penguin.

Antarctica: Husband and wife scientific team hunker down inside a tightly packed survival capsule, wintering over in the vast frozen continent accompanied only by web-cam, sporadic radio contact and a colony of male penguins.

"Powerful...provocative and moving" - Theatreview

Returning to Wellington after an acclaimed national tour, Heat is a world first. Unlike other conventional theatre shows Heat powers completely off-grid by sustainable means. This unique Spacewise energy installation, designed by Ebbett Automation Ltd, is on site at the theatre!

Playwright Liynda Chanwai-Earle is shortlisted for the Bruce Mason Award 2010.

Sound Design/Composition by Antarctic Fellow Gareth Farr.
Featuring Kate Prior, Simon Vincent and Byron Coll.
