The Plays
This Particular Room by Jess Sayer, directed by Lauren Wilson
Winner of the Adam New Zealand Play Award 2020. Max and Kate have been in love, in secret, for a year. Told through fragments of memory that unfold in one continuous rush, this award-winning play explores heartbreak, hindsight, and the search for clarity when everything feels uncertain.
Roses Are Red by Paul Topliss, directed by Helen Topliss
A love story set in Germany in the days leading up to the fall of the Berlin wall. Roses are red explores conflicting ideologies and asks whether love can truly overcome all. With a simple setting and a strong focus on performance, this intimate play centres on connection, vulnerability, and emotional depth.
Never Say Never by Joanna Pearce, directed by Kierron Diaz-Campbell
During the Blitz in London, two women working in a factory begin living together and form a relationship. Their fragile domestic world is shaken when one woman’s husband returns from the war, forcing deeply human choices and impossible decisions.
