Jandoe's having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Who's the problem: them or the people they meet?
It’s 2030 and software in your glasses has replaced cell phones. Follow a very special day in the life of Jandoe Wilkins, a socially awkward payroll clerk. You see, Jandoe has unwittingly agreed to trial Senseless Software Inc’s new technology.
Award winning Dunedin-based couple Blaise and Sarah Barham premiere SBZ's new play All Heroes, written by Sarah Barham. This comedic duet piece sees Sarah as Jandoe Wilkins - having a very bad day indeed - interacting with multiple characters played by Blaise, and draws on the couple’s comedic training at the Philippe Gaulier school in Paris and postgraduate theatre studies at the University of Otago.
This funny, poignant and thought-provoking play was developed through a short season in Auckland and at Otago University with Auckland-based director John Goudge.
Are we becoming too dependent on technology to the extent that it is damaging our ability to communicate and socialise in person? What would happen if we could see how others experience us and the world? Would it change the way we behave and interact?
Sarah and Blaise formed their own theatre company, Sahara BreeZe (SBZ) Productions, in 2019 and have subsequently produced 15 shows.
