‘WHORE’ Hits Wellington
After the world premiere of ‘WHORE’ at Lifewise NZ Merge Café in May/June, followed by ‘The Encore’ at Lot 23 Studio in July, the successful Auckland sell-out show is now touring to BATS Wellington, performing 25-27 September, 2014.
‘WHORE’ is a
collection of topical, fact-based Auckland stories; without
filters. This play gives you a glimpse into street sex work
and what some
people experience.
The core cast are
touring to Wellington including Rebecca Parr (Married
Woman, Refugee), Geraldine Creff (Underage Sex Work,
Illegal Migrant) & Lee ah yen Faatoia (Transgender, Rent
boy). WHORE is also being adapted for screen, with the first
of six short films, available late October 2014.
“The play is presented by charlatan clinic and has succeeded in putting together a wonderful piece of theatre...” - Keeping up with NZ, May 2014
“Fergusson is
fascinated why society thinks ‘Whore’ is a dirty word
and wanted to challenge perceptions. She’s done so.” –
Gay NZ, May 2014
