Anahera

Liz and Peter Hunter have it all. A great marriage, successful careers, a beautiful house and two wonderful children. Until their son Harry goes missing. Distraught, they wait for news from the police, supported by social worker Anahera. But as the hours pass and everyone is pushed beyond their limits, Anahera must make a stand. But is it already too late? Can Anahera save anyone?

Anahera is a contemporary domestic thriller about a struggling kiwi family and the angel who stands up for them.

"In less accomplished hands some lines and images could be a bit ‘on the nose’ but – just as she did with "The Mooncake and the Kūmara" – director Katie Wolfe and her cast have ensured the inescapable truths inherent in Emma Kinane’s finely honed script are honoured with compelling integrity."

- John Smythe, Theatreview

There’s been many profound plays at Circa Theatre this year – deep performances that resonate powerfully, strong writing, clever staging – and Anahera is right up there, one of the best pieces of theatre I’ve seen and heard and experienced. A must-see event, a world-class piece of theatre.
