Description

Six seminal plays from Ken Duncum and Rebecca Rodden, written during the vibrant theatre scene at Wellington's BATS Theatre in the 1980s and 90s. These bold, inventive, and darkly comic works present a range of themes, including alienation, human connection, and the challenges of parenthood. The plays collected here showcase the unique vision of Duncum and Rodden, with titles such as Polythene Pam, Flybaby, JISM, The Temptations of St Max, and Panic! Each play offers a glimpse into the offbeat world of BATS Theatre, where the boundaries between comedy and tragedy are constantly blurred. The book includes introductions and selected images from the writers and other BATS practitioners, providing a vivid recapture of this crucial time and place in New Zealand's theatre history.
