Mr Red Light

One of the funniest, most outrageously original New Zealand shows to ever hit the stage, Mr Red Light comes from award-winning company, Nightsong. Shortlisted for the Adam New Zealand Play Awards 2019, this is absurdist comedy at its most life-affirming and joyful. Mr Red Light is a man who attracts bad luck. So naturally, when he tries to rob a bank he fails miserably – and ends up in a pie shop dealing with three very uncooperative hostages and the world’s worst police negotiator. As time ticks by, Mr Red Light and his captives play a game of getting to know you. With nowhere to run and nothing to lose, they form an unlikely bond. And mysteriously, Mr Red Light seems to know more about his hostages’ lives than is possible. Mr Red Light is a fool, or maybe a prophet. Either way, he’ll remind you how wonderful life can be.
