| Description |
The award-winning team that delighted audiences with The Bookbinder and The Road that Wasn't There return with a darker, more adult tale of the uncanny. The Devil's Half-Acre is set in the slums of gold rush-era Dunedin, when the powerhouse of New Zealand lay south of the Waitaki River rather than north of the Bombay Hills. Combining puppetry, live music and a score by acclaimed composer Tane Upjohn-Beatson, it conjures a landscape of brothels, gaming houses and opium dens; a melting pot of immigrants from all over the world. |
