The Body Politic is a new contemporary drama by Elspeth Sandys at CIRCA THEATRE from 24th August - 21st September 2024.
The Body Politic shines a light on the workings of a body corporate in a small inner city apartment block. The cracks that appear in this mini democracy mirror the cracks appearing in society at large as the far right gains ground around the world. Who will triumph? Clarice the self-appointed dictator? Or her nemesis, Will, and his reluctant supporters?
Weaving contemporary themes of culture, race, religion, and power-sharing , The Body Politic explores the collapse of democracy locally and around the world. This witty, intriguing play is a larger commentary on our society reflected in the intricate relationships all from a small Wellington apartment complex.
Directed by Circa's own Andrew Foster (Red, Venus in Fur) and featuring a star studded cast: Peter Hambleton (The Hobbit Trilogy, After the Party), Jude Gibson (Colin from Accounts, When the Rain Stops Falling), Lauren Gibson (August: Osage County, The Haka Party Incident) and Chris Alosio (Talk to Me, Next Goal Wins).
Don't miss out on this 'must see' classic Circa Theatre play.
