Six people are trapped in an isolated, snowbound cabin without power, heat or the ability to communicate with the outside world. As the snow piles higher, the tension escalates.

Straight from winning the New Zealand Young Playwrights Competition 2000, Remote delivers a sharp comedy about flatmates and the result of procrastinating. Work-shopped in Auckland under the direction of Gary Henderson (An Unseasonable Fall of Snow, Shortland Street) Remotes¹ use of physical comedy combined with a fast paced script had the workshop audience in hysterics.

0utside In

OUTSIDE IN is eccentric, rural New Zealand at it's best. Dark, cloistered and bizarre. Three beautiful daughters have been mourning the death of their mother for a decade.
