MOVERS
BY JAMES CAIN
Aspiring comedian Tai gets a job at a local moving company to pay the bills. He finds himself in turns frustrated and amused by the antics of the two older white men who run the business - laid-back, quiet Oscar, and ageing larrikin Bruce. Tai begins to send them up onstage in a series of impressions - but when these impersonations prove to be a smash hit with audiences, Tai must decide how much loyalty he owes his coworkers.
Shortlisted for the Adam NZ Play Award (2018) and Playwrights B4 25 (2016).

“Movers is a sophisticated examination of the intergenerational, racial, and class tension that New Zealanders grapple with in the workplace and beyond [...] delves deep into its characters to focus on human warmth and connection.”
