Mr Red Light is the story of a mysterious stranger who bursts through the doors of an Auckland pie shop after a bungled bank robbery, and takes its occupants hostage. Through the course of a tense siege, this complete outsider changes the lives of everyone in the shop.
A dramatic farce that moves from anarchic comedy to tense thriller, Mr Red Light is a highly visual work that transforms the banality of a pie shop into various incredible worlds.
This dynamic, New Zealand play by Nightsong (Te Pō, 360, Spirit House) is an ideal work to leave senior students feeling excited about life and inspired by theatre and its possibilities.
‘That’s great theatre, right there. When the impossible works, right in front of you, and it clambers right into your heart’ - Metro (review of Te Pō).
