Experience The Wrong Gods with Playwave

When

Tuesday 20 May from 5pm to 8:30pm

Cost

Concession: $25

If you're a young person between the ages of 15 and 24 and want exclusive access to some of Sydney's major arts events, then Playwave is for you.

Only $25 gets you a ticket to The Wrong Gods with a pre and post-show conversation with the talented creatives. 

In a valley in India, paintings on a cave wall bear testimony to the presence of people – and their gods – for fifty thousand years. Close by, Nirmala farms the soil as her ancestors did, but her daughter Isha wants something more – a city education, and the opportunity it promises. And there are outsiders in the valley now, bringing new crops, new technologies, new visions of the future. There are new gods loose in the valley. But they are asking Nirmala and her people to pay a heavy price.

A gripping new play from S. Shakthidharan (Counting and Cracking, The Jungle and the Sea) co-directed by Hannah Goodwin (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Never Closer), The Wrong Gods melds mother-and-daughter struggle with the economics of progress, asking, what are we worshipping? And what price will we pay?

What you get:

  • Ticket to see The Wrong Gods

  • Pre-show introduction with Belvoir's resident director Hannah Goodwin and designer Keerthi Subramanyam 

  • Post-show Q&A with cast members

  • Snacks and refreshments before the show

  • Opportunity to catch up with other Playwavers after the event
