Play Reading: Victor Rodger, ​Uma Lava

Picture
“Jesus Christ, a tapa cloth.” So begins Robert Burns Fellow 2016 Victor Rodger’s Polynesian-hued adaptation of Jean-Paul Sartre’s famous play No Exit/Huis Clos. Three strangers, who hate each other’s guts, find themselves in a small, uncomfortable and increasingly hot room. To quote Sartre, “hell is other people” – in this instance, quite literally. Uma Lava will be read by Anapela Polataivao, Goretti Wickman, Siale Tunoka and Simon O’Connor. 

Please note that space is lmited so admission cannot be guaranteed.​​
