Box

Synopsis:
Box/Role/Dream is about shifting the boundaries of your comfort zone to its outer limits. Perhaps, even, to a place you did not think you would go. Through a unique invitation into the personal lives of others, the audience is invited to consider their own perspectives and have their prejudices challenged. Chanwai earle considers a natural response to awkward situations and then flips this on its head, back to an audience to consider themselves implicated in moments of personal revelation.

Man In A Suitcase

Synopsis:
Playwright Lynda Chanwai-earle has created a "story of people who live out of suitcases - and die in them," inspired in part by the true story of a Chinese student whose remains were found in a suitcase floating in the Waitemata harbour. While the play explores dark territory, Chanwai-earle has laced the script with black humour and embraced the "horrific ridiculousness of the situation." At its heart, however, Chanwai-earle says MAN IN A SUITCASe is "about displacement, wanting to fit in and get on in New Zealand."
