Enter 95 year old Inga’s living room in Denmark as she reaches out through space and time to her grandson in New Zealand.
Inga has seen world wars, cold wars, civil wars. In real life and on TV. And when you’re close to 100 you know a thing or two about a thing or two.
Featuring lots of chalk, a cameo by a Viking God, and performed in a driveway near you, Back to Square One is the remarkable story of unremarkable lives and the (sometimes) misdirected urgency that drives us all.
Sometimes all you need is an old lady to set you straight.
It’s theatre, but only just!
Back to Square One? was originally designed to be performed in driveways, but has since been performed both inside and outside, in backyards, car parks and driveways.
Shortlisted for the 2021 Adam New Zealand Play Award.
