A Little Box returns 16, 17, 18 October with ‘Daughterhood’, Elmwood Auditorium, Aikmans Rd, Merivale | All seats $20 | A beautiful, ferocious play about the bonds that tie us, and how we sometimes need to break them. One sister stayed at home to care for Dad. The other set out to 'make a difference'. Reunited under their childhood roof, Pauline and Rachel unearth more than the ten years between them. It's a huge gap. Almost insurmountable. And each is determined to let the other know exactly who has done things right.
'Each character is beautifully drawn in this witty, realistic script' – British Theatre
'Compelling... [has] ferocious emotional depth' - The List
'Sharply observes the complex, envy-laced relationship between siblings' – Guardian
In association with Nick Hern Ltd and NZ Play Bureau | Contains adult themes
