Toi Whakaari New Zealand Drama School is excited to present Fucking A, by Suzan-Lori Parks.
An otherworldly tale of a desperate mother's quest to free her beloved son from prison. In a town where women can be owned like chattels, and hungry children can be imprisoned for stealing a piece of meat, desperation and despair turns into rage and violence in the blink of an eye, and even the most wounded animal can become the most feared predator. In this wild-eyed blend of story and song, Suzan-Lori Parks' searing riff on Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter demands the audience to watch, to not look away, and to ask themselves the question: what hand do we play in the making of monsters?
This Graduation Production is the final major work by graduating students across Acting, Arts Management, Costume, Design and Set & Props. Directed by Keagan Carr-Fransch.
A Tertiary Production of Fucking A by special arrangement with Samuel French Inc and The Play Bureau.
