Skin Tight is moving, magical, passionate and brutal; everything a love story should be.

Tom and Elizabeth’s life together is filled with adoration and raw passion; they fight, make-up, they love and grow old. But Elizabeth is dying, and this is their last opportunity to reflect upon, and share their most intimate secrets, their greatest passions, their joys and losses.

During these final moments together their relationship is at its most intense. Their bodies and minds yearn for each other as passionately as ever; fiercely competitive and yet ultimately bound by a love that transcends their mortality.

Based on The Magpies by New Zealand poet, Denis Glover, Skin Tight is a play about love and the human condition. You will find yourself completely absorbed by their relationship, a relationship filled with a love that pulsates and endures despite loss, war and betrayal.

"Pure theatre that peels away time, self-deception, longing and passion, in the dreamlike haze of a fleeting summer morning.” (NZ Listener)

".. a heartwrenchingly visceral performance ..." (The Times)

" There is such fire in this marriage, the play becomes a universal homage to love."(NZ Christchurch Press)
