Mr Red Light: Digital Education Pack
Written by Carl Bland. Education pack by Auckland Live & Nightsong
About Mr Red Light:
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. And mysteriously, Mr Red Light seems to know more about his hostages’ lives than is possible.
'A joyride of non-stop tragicomic thrills' – NZ Herald
Joyfully inventive, absurdly funny, and full of surprises, Mr Red Light could be a fool or a prophet. Either way, he will remind you how wonderful life can be.
Directed by Ben Crowder and Carl Bland
Performed by Simon Ferry, Jennifer Ludlam, Trygve Wakenshaw, Richard Te Are, Jess Sayer
Commissioned by New Zealand Festival of the Arts and developed with the support of Auckland Live.
