Sons, lovers and the end of the world.
Crackling with wit and intelligence, Station to Station is a darkly funny play by Bruce Mason Award winning playwright Michael Galvin. International events collide with personal passions as a charismatic television presenter turned religious zealot and his beautiful sidekick, take a mother and son on a rollercoaster ride from Kiwi suburbia to Jerusalem. Caught in a thrilling, dream-like journey, the foursome negotiate a bewildering world in which nothing is quite what it seems – and the most innocent actions can have explosive consequences.
Featuring wonderful performances from Michael Galvin (Shortland Street) and Antonia Prebble (Outrageous Fortune), STATION TO STATION is a theatrical hit from one of New Zealand’s most exciting new playwrights – and is the first of Michael’s plays to tour outside of Auckland. Don’t miss this chance to see top-notch contemporary theatre.
