It’s Christmas 2009. The Ashford family home’s buckling at its seams—sagging roof, cracked septic tank. Mum’s got her head in the sand. Dad’s had a stroke. The three adult children, themselves plagued by stricken bodies & cash crises, raise the hard-issue of relocating their parents. Fast forward ten years, the family struggles with calamitous loss, strangers appear at the door & long buried resentments dig their way to the surface.
Winner of the ADAM NZ AWARD for BEST PLAY, passionfruits is a ‘searing family drama’ praised by Playmarket judges as ‘a New Zealand answer to The Cherry Orchard & Long Day’s Journey into Night’. One Question invites you to the debut of this acclaimed, locally written, performed & produced work of theatre.
