Description 'WINK is a 75 minute dark comedy about the thin veil between our capacity for civility and savagery. It marks the Aotearoa premiere of one of America's most-produced playwrights: Jen Silverman. The suburban dream is clawed apart when a distressed housewife and her bloody husband drag themselves into the office of a needy therapist to discuss their missing cat. Chaos is spilled when polite people get mad as hell.'
