Belfrey Theatre – Wellington

By Sam Steiner The average person will speak 123,205,750 words in a lifetime. But what if there were a limit? Bernadette and Oliver are about to find out. This award-winning play imagines a world where we’re forced to say less; examining how we express ourselves, personally and politically, through the lens of one couple’s relationship. It’s about what we say and how we say it; about the things we can only hear in the silence; about dead cats, activism, eye contact and more.

Playing mischievously with theatrical convention, the play breaks down the wall between stage and auditorium with a fatal piece of audience participation.
