STORYTELLING AT ITS BEST. NEW ZEALAND SOLO SHOW MAKING WAVES ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE

HIGH RISE

view project

Meet Henry Lewis. Everything he touches turns to SOLD!

There’s one word to describe the 80’s in New Zealand; ‘Excess’. The cars were fast, the girls were fast, and money was faster. It was a time where money ruled the world, and everything was big; houses, boats, and egos. Henry Lewis sees property as the way to the top, and the answer to becoming a ‘somebody’. On his journey he makes decisions, sacrifices, and a lot of money. At what price does Henry find success, and can a person ever be satisfied? As the end of the decade nears, an unexpected event will burst Henry’s bubble. After all, money is the bitch you take home that never sleeps. Keep a close eye on her, for she may not be there in the morning…

‘High Rise’ is a New Zealand (true) story with global themes and messages about greed, the snowball effects of success, and ambition. ‘High Rise’ incorporates elements of mask, Commedia dell’arte, Buffon and physical forms of theatre.

An exhausting, and exhilarating look at the rise and fall of one man trying to be a ‘somebody’ in the changing landscape of 1980’s New Zealand…

Written and performed by Cameron Jones. The kiwi story making it’s international debut at the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2017.
