Havoc In the Garden

Synopsis:
a play about families - about the lies that parents tell, and children reveal; what holds families together and what tears them apart - Havoc in the Garden unfolds in a small neighbourhood of five houses on an auckland hillside where an act of violence and rage is about to shatter the community. In an ensuing police siege, five families are forced to confront the truths they have kept buried.
