Directed by Malia Johnston Janet Frame’s landmark novel was brought to life on stage in 2019 by the iconic theatre company Red Leap. Filled with fierce heart and visual splendour, Red Leap’s Owls Do Cry made its world premiere in Frame’s childhood hometown of Ōamaru, followed by sell-out seasons in both Tāmaki Makaurau and Whangārei. This year it is going on tour, travelling back to Ōamaru, as well as hitting Christchurch, Dunedin and Wanaka.
"...an extraordinarily brave, jaw-dropping performance that is simply faultless. There is not one wasted moment in the piece. It's the best show I've seen this year"
