DnA - BATS Theatre Backwards

Kia ora All

This week is your last chance to see Just Add Water's fantastic STAB season production of DnA, final night on Saturday!

"In Jacqueline Coat's production the combination of committed acting, unusual staging, setting, lighting and use of technology...provide... the score that an operatic story demands."

"The stage is beautifully lit (Marianne Taylor) and Sebastian Morgan Lynch's sound effects are highly effective"

"DnA... turns out to be an experiment well worth the making"

- Laurie Atkinson, Dominion Post 27/10/03

Just Add Water presents a powerful story about fate, love, and destiny. Based on Henry Purcell¹s opera Dido and Aeneas, DnA is an opera with a difference ­ it is an opera without singing.

Created especially for the STAB 2003 season, Purcell¹s music and the emotional entanglements of Dido and Aeneas are expressed through a synthesis of sound, movement and gesture, rather than with words and song.

Brewing together a potent mix of influences, including Robert Le Page, Star Trek, 1950¹s costume and kitchen design, Just Add Water creates the emotional impact of the story and themes of this classic opera.

Things are not always what they seemŠ this performance is a work of epic proportions, played out on a miniature scale.

Just Add Water comprises of several Wellington artists including Miranda Manasiadis, Nigel Collins, Jacqueline Coats, Ludmila Zelenda, Sebastian Morgan-Lynch, Justin Gregory and Marianne Taylor.
