Play Reading: Fallout - Sinking of The Rainbow Warrior

Part of the 2023 Auckland Heritage Festival, Fallout: the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior is a play by Bronwyn Elsmore. Fallout will be read by 4 actors. This is a free event.

About Fallout:
Two blasts disturb the winter night and a ship, dedicated to peace, sinks in Auckland Harbour.
New Zealanders remember the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior, and the effect this act of international terrorism had on their lives.

The play particularly addresses the festival themes of peace and protest. The Rainbow Warrior was preparing to protest French nuclear testing in the Pacific.
