In the stomach of the icky and yucky process that is grief, ‘Icky’ is a dramedy about a struggling university student processing their father’s death. They retell moments, thoughts and stories throughout their life, however they realise that there's a more sinister truth they have yet to process.
This is a brand new work by award winning Oh That Theatre Company, written by Viki Moananu (The Ghost Show, Beard) and directed by Lizzy Burton-Wood (The Ghost Show, Knights of the Table, Five Words or Less).
‘Icky’ is the Winner of Best Pasifika Play for the Adams NZ Play Award 2023, as well as shortlisted in Playmarket’s Playwrights B425 competition. ‘Icky’ is a story that finds our protagonist reevaluating life in the most reasonable way possible. By blowing it up.
