| # Before We Slip Beneath the Sea 2025 Season An immersive theatrical experience from Red Scare Theatre Company. On a small island off Wellington’s north coast, the community gathers one final time as rising sea levels force an evacuation. When one resident resists, tensions erupt and long-buried truths surface. Before We Slip Beneath the Sea is a powerful story of change, loss, and forces far greater than ourselves. Written and directed by Cassandra Tse. Winner of Best Play by a Woman Playwright and overall Runner-Up at the 2024 Adam NZ Play Awards. Book tickets now! |
