Clash of the Delusions Play Reading

Michelle Blundell, recently seen as the psychotic Hayley on Shortland Street, plays a more kindhearted character in an upcoming reading of Clash of the Delusions, a farce by Rex McGregor. A bit too kindhearted. As an overzealous student impersonating a teacher, she comes up against Lavinia 'Uhila (In the Next Room, or the Vibrator Play) and three Massive Company actors from The Brave: Dominic Ona-Ariki, Andy Sani and Neil Amituanai. The reading, directed by Grae Burton, also features Ally Xue (The Bone Feeder) and Ash Jones (The Importance of Being Earnest).

For an assignment on helping the disadvantaged, Iris impersonates a teacher at a low-decile school. Lian and Bryce join the mission. Meanwhile, Fina, Joseph and Damon prepare a welcome home for Matiu, just back from LA with stars in his eyes.

Director: Grae Burton.
Featuring: Michelle Blundell (Iris), Dominic Ona-Ariki (Matiu), Ally Xue (Lian), Lavinia 'Uhila (Fina), Ash Jones (Bryce), Andy Sani (Joseph), Neil Amituanai (Damon).

Read Raw play readings are organised by the Auckland Playwrights Collective in association with STAMP at THE EDGE.

Held in the Goodman Fielder Room, Aotea Centre.
