Gary Henderson’s Irresistible ‘Skin Tight’
charlatan clinic presents Gary Henderson’s irresistible ‘Skin Tight’.
Set in the 1940s ‘Skin Tight’ follows the fierce and passionate love affair between Cantabrian sweethearts Tom and Elizabeth.
On an almost bare stage, the two actors wrestle, play, live and love with erotic abandon.
Directed by cutting edge Playwright/Director Melissa Fergusson (‘Motherlock’, Melbourne Fringe Festival 2010, Auckland Fringe Festival 2011, Wellington Fringe Festival 2011, Short & Sweet Festival, ‘Tipping Point’ 2010) the show features theatre talent Julia Croft (‘Paper Sky’, Red Leap Theatre Company) and Chris Neels (‘The Sex Show’, Outfit Theatre Company) in the principal roles.
‘It is hard to imagine a play more physical and intense in which two passionate lives are compressed into a single hour. There is such fire in this marriage, the play becomes a universal homage to love.’-NZ Christchurch Press
‘Skin Tight’ premiered in 1994 at BATS Theatre in Wellington; it has since been produced in New Zealand, Australia, Great Britain, South Africa, Europe, Canada and the USA. In 1998 it won a coveted Fringe First Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and continues to be popular worldwide.
The charlatan clinic season of Skin Tight will be performed in the intimate Musgrove Studio in the Maidment Theatre Complex, 22-26 June 2011. Tickets can be purchased at the Maidment Box Office or online at www.maidment.auckland.ac.nz
