Bullet Heart Club DAFFODILS [INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS]
70 minutes Powerhouse Theatre, Brisbane Powerhouse 13+ years
Far more than just boy meets girl. This is real life romance – Kiwi cabaret style.
Travel through a landscape of live music and heart-aching theatre in this beautiful love story about a teddy boy and a farm girl: their first meeting, their marriage and the New Zealand pop-rock soundtrack that shapes their lives. Daffodils captures the bittersweet nuances of one couple’s life in a mix-tape of New Zealand’s greatest hits brought to life onstage by performers Todd Emerson and Colleen Davis with a three-piece band.
Inspired by private letters, interviews and family myths, this award-winning production unfolds against a backdrop of 1960s Kodak stills, home movies and fashion photography. The result is a love story that is both whimsical and dark, and set to make “your eyes weep and your heart bleed.” (Theatrescenes, NZ).
