Everybody knocks it out of the park.

Yeah.

Can you give us a synopsis of what the play is?

Because it's very different from what I think New Zealand audiences are used to seeing.

Yeah.

You bastards have all got American accents.

It is.

I'll give the synopsis here.

A 1950s tragedy about Eddie Carbone, which is your character, Bueller, a Brooklyn longshoreman who's repressed obsessive love for his niece, Catherine, leads to jealousy and betrayal.

geez when Catherine falls for an undocumented immigrant cousin Rodolfo Eddie's jealousy sparks a fatal chain of events involving Sicilian honor codes in American law it is absolutely out the gate it's a it sort of knocks you back in your seat because it's in the round so traditionally you'd have a normal stage this one sits right in the middle and there are there are seats all around and also at Q Theatre there's sort of there's a higher up seat a bit of raking yeah and it's what's cool about it man and I'm

I'm assuming this is all planned by your incredible director.

Yep.

Is at the end, it plays out in the streets and it's reminiscent of that last scene of the final scenes in Training Day with Denzel Washington, right?

Yeah, it is.

It's that thing where it's played out in front of the community, the community of the judge and jury.

Yeah.

And it's like you're speaking to the people in the tenement.

Yes.

So brilliantly done.

And what's also fantastic about it, I thought as well, because I didn't want to message you.
