The play is sinister, funny and has a strong political message, which seemed more and more apt as 2019 developed. The cast found the avant-garde nature of the play hard at first, but quickly warmed to it and gave it their all and, as Year 13 students, they had maturity and insight. I valued the contributions and suggestions they made, and they worked individually and collectively to make the play their own. The strong leads brought character to the roles they created, and the chorus clearly established the menace highlighting the message of the play. We were fortunate to have the skills of Cashmere High School students Jorja Farrant and Lily Thoroughgood to augment our cast. Robyn Peers Assistant Director of Drama
