The Wheel
August 2011
Overview
This extraordinary and unnerving new play by award-winning writer Zinnie Harris asks whether it is possible to travel through a world in conflict and remain unaffected.
With wit, spirit and dynamism the play seeks to draw audiences into the quest, enchanting and challenging them with the characters and situations they will encounter along the way.
Beatriz and her sister Rosa are happily preparing for Rosa’s wedding. Their world is turned upside down when the groom arrives, pitchfork rabble in tow, ready to occupy their farm.
A little girl stumbles into their world, lost and looking for her father. In a moment of determination Beatriz takes the girl to find him – and so begins an unimaginable journey. Beatriz and her charge, in their need to survive, witness more than anyone ever should.
