In the midst of a birthday celebration, Rangi and Hūkerikeri (Keri) are caught off guard when two unexpected guests crash through the door intent on robbing the couple.

But things don’t go as planned when the older couple mistake the would-be thieves for their deceased son and his wife.

Come with us as we explore the dangers of love and secrets. Of loving someone too much, not enough and being starved of it.

Join the minds behind such shows as Black Ties, Larger Than Life and Peter, Paka, Paratene for a truly heart breaking and surreal theatre experience at Circa Theatre from 28 July – 26 August. Written by Tainui Tukiwaho, presented by Taurima Vibes and proudly supported by Shoreline Partners.

Worried about the Cost of Living? Want to save for something important? Or just wonder where your money goes?
