Fringe Festival 2011 - Thin Air By Seamus Arnel

Thin Air is a new kiwi comedy about looking for LOVE in all the right and wrong places! A charming mix of Reality Bites, Easy A, and Scarfies, Thin Air is bringing intimate theatre to Molly’s, Wellington and The Box, Petone.

New to town and starting Uni, Sam meets two likely lads, Jay and Simon, when they come to her aid at a flat party.

Sam falls for Jay, but LOVE turns out to be much more elusive and fragile than certain popular films had led either of them to believe. “Where’s the bit where all the drama stops, and I get to live happily ever after?”

If a broken heart feels like the world is falling apart, and the ending of all things is a mathematical certainty, what can you truly hold onto?

"I am very excited to be working with three extremely talented and passionate young up-and-coming Wellington actors.” Says director Tabitha Arthur. “They have so much energy and have really fallen in love with their characters. This production will be wonderfully moving and funny, biting and real. I can't wait for the audience to experience it".

"What grabbed me with the script, was the completely honest nature of the dialogue. I felt a connection with each of the characters, and I felt a need to know more; I wanted to get to know each of them, and their unique relationships with each other; to help them find their way through their pain and frustration to the other side".
