| Description |
To the young Margaret Mead, Samoa was a paradise of free love. 'Not so!' said fellow anthropologist Derek Freeman, 'Mead was cunningly hoaxed.' Wellington-born Freeman's challenge to the utopian vision that spawned the sexual revolution, rocked the anthropological world. This entertaining new play by Australia's most popular playwright, wittily sideswipes academics and the swining 60s and its original Australian production caused a furore. Circa Theatre presents the New Zealand premiere of Heretic, evoking the spirit of the psychedelic 60s and the enchantment of the South Seas. |
