Synopsis (from the flyer):

Jack and Eli spend their days hanging out in Eli’s bedroom, drinking beers and riffing on movies, music and girls.

When the death of a friend causes Jack to look inside himself, he doesn’t like what he sees, sparking a spiritual journey to James K. Baxter’s grave in Jerusalem, New Zealand.

Thoughts on this Production:

I thoroughly enjoyed this exploration of the meaning of life, the universe and everything.

I enjoyed Eli Ken’s astute observations of life. There were some great one-liners ... that I wish I could have written down at the time to remember.

I enjoyed all of the different, and innovative, methods employed to tell the tale including a blast from the past - an overhead projector.

On the strength of this production I’ll be looking forward to seeing anything else that the Playground Collective present up in Auckland.
