OWEN LINDSAY on THE DAYLIGHT ATHEIST by Tom Scott at OLD RED LION 16 Apr – 4 Mar
Actor Owen Lindsay is an Irish emigrant to New Zealand, which is exactly the dynamic the show explores.
"It’s a very intimate piece, loosely based on the life of the playwright´s own father. Essentially it’s a portrait of late-life male alienation, of a man disconnected from those closest to him and spending his days reliving past exploits."
THE DAYLIGHT ATHEIST
Old Red Lion Theatre, Islington
16 April - 4 May 7.30pm
An instant hit when it premiered in 2002, written by award-winning satirist and author Tom Scott, and still one of New Zealand´s most popular and often-performed plays, The Daylight Atheist is a funny, poignant and arresting portrait of a deeply flawed yet charismatic soul.
'A gripping performance by Owen Lindsay in a rare chance to see a Kiwi classic.' ★★★★ Everything Theatre
