One by One Directed by Pedro Ilgenfritz

LAB: Research Theatre Company is back to delight audiences with its dynamic ensemble acting, inventive direction and compelling storytelling.

One by One is an almost-love story. The tragic story of Bonnie and Marty endlessly missing each until love emerges as an inevitable collision. The story unfolds in a succession of comedic situations as both characters deal with the struggle of not being able to have what they want the most.

One by One is a silent show with live music. The whole story is told by Katie Burson and Greg Padoa without the use of verbal language. This work can not be described as mime or physical theatre. It is just theatre in its simplest form.

We are proud to bring you our second production after the acclaimed Alfonsina (2010) and its successful seasons in Auckland (Musgrove Studio), Wellington and Dunedin Fringe Festivals and participating as a special guest at VERTICE 2010 – International Women in Theatre Festival in Brazil.

“This team understands the value of pathos in comedy and their world view is compassionate, humane and realistic…”
