WEiRdO, by Waylon Edwards, William Duignan and Jane Yonge. Produced by DoubleU DoubleU Productions. Music and performance by Waylon and William. Show Design by Emily Hartley-Skudder. BATS Theatre 2017, Basement Theatre 2018.

Bogged down with policies, procedures and pointless tasks, Richard and Waylon are jostling for a promotion in their roles at D.O.L.E. (the Department of Lifestyle Encouragement). A dark comedy featuring original music, WEiRdO playfully reveals much deeper truths about racial identity in Aotearoa New Zealand. New Zealand has a long and fraught colonial history. WEiRdO investigates and challenges the consequences of this history: we think that we are a progressive and politically aware nation, but we’re not. Using music and comedy, WEiRdO pushes audiences into uncomfortable, icky, and awkward places.

“I sometimes feel like a fly caught in a colonial spider’s web – the spider might be dead but the web is still there, catching people and leaving them covered in sticky stuff. This show explores that uncomfortable stickiness. We want to empower people who feel like outsiders to laugh at themselves, each other, and make up for lost time” - Waylon Edwards.
