Before We Slip Beneath the Sea - Palmerston North

An immersive theatrical experience, brought to you by Red Scare Theatre Company.

On a small island off Wellington’s north coast, the local community have gathered for the last time in the wake of an impending evacuation due to rising sea levels. When one community member decides to take a stand against the evacuation, the community is divided, long-buried tensions come to the fore, and everyone must decide how to cope with change, loss and forces far greater than themselves.

“A hauntingly beautiful portrayal of human relationships. It’s a fantastic immersive experience that plunges you into the sea of its drama, and you don’t even really want to come up for air.” - Elliot Lam, Wellyott

Winner of Best Play by a Woman Playwright and overall Runner-Up at the 2024 Adam NZ Play Awards.

STARRING:
Charlie Potter, Hannah McKenzie Doornebosch, Craig Geenty, Megan Connolly, Helen Jones, Billie Deganutti and Ralph Johnson.

WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY:
Cassandra Tse.
