A Collection of Noises

Local actors make Noises in the capital

A Collection of Noises, Alice Sherwood King’s one woman play, premieres at The Fringe Bar on March 1st as part of the New Zealand Fringe Festival. Alice Sherwood King has performed twice in the national SGCNZ UOSWSF and takes on the role of a troubled girl in this psychological horror. Writer/director Alexander Sparrow explained the inspiration for A Collection of Noises, “I love horror, absurd films and cult pictures. Grand guignol (naturalistic horror), David Lynch’s surrealist film Erasherhead, and the atmosphere of black and white films inspired me to write a play exploring the atrocities in the back of peoples’ minds.”

The set for A Collection of Noises integrates perfectly with the stage of The Fringe Bar. Sticking to a black and white design and a dream world study set, the space is perfect for the nightmarish journey crowds will experience. Alice Sherwood King says, “It’s almost impossible to find the path; but stay close enough and I may get you through.”
