Christmas Indoors

Bats Theatre presents Christmas Indoors a play by Paul Rothwell.

Trisha's family banded together after she disappeared without a trace over a year ago . . . united her Dad became a guru of grief counselling, her fiancé swore off women forever, her sister pretty much stole her life and her senile Gran swears Trisha is the new host of Mitre 10 Dream Home.

However all this personal growth and bonding is driving Trisha's mother up the wall - she abandons them all just in time for Christmas.

As with all good Christmas tales - something shocking happens, something that will force them back together under one roof, ruin plans, break hearts, upset futures and maybe bring absolution at last .

Christmas Indoors is an unashamed anti-Christmas comedy about family; sometimes the things that bring us together are the same things that push us apart!

From the acclaimed imagination of the writer of Kissing Bone, Deliver Us, Golden Boys and Hate Crimes and current Bruce Mason Playwrighting Award nominee Paul Rothwell.

Paul’s idiosyncratic, plays provide both delight and controversial insights into the heart of New Zealand society.

Rothwell has been nominated for a Chapman Tripp Theatre Award for Most Outstanding New Playwright twice and is a winner of Playmarket’s NZ Young Playwrights Competition in 2005.

Starring: Alistair Browning, Hadleigh Walker, Irene Wood, Kate McGill, Rachel More and Sophie Hambleton.
