Description In 1985, the world wakes to the discovery of the ozone hole over Antarctica.

It's Wild West days at McMurdo Station and Scott Base, a time of big hair, big make-up, and ice-cold wine coolers. It's little more than a decade since the US Navy lifted their ban on women travelling to the Ice. Meanwhile, Greenpeace, rallying to create the first 'World' in Antarctica, is protesting the commercial exploitation of oil and mineral deposits under the ice by prospecting governments and companies…

Stella, a NZ scientist, Ioane, a US Navy SEAL from American Samoa, and Bonny, a Greenpeace activist, meet during one Antarctic summer. What unfolds is as dark, funny, and monumental as the discovery of the ozone hole itself. The second play in Lynda Chanwai-Earle’s acclaimed Antarctic Theatre Trilogy, HOLE builds on the innovative use of eco-powered energy as used in the award-winning HEAT.
