Description Inspired by the underbelly of gold rush-era Dunedin, and combining puppetry, projection, live music, fact, folklore and a score by acclaimed composer Tane Upjohn-Beatson, the dark tale follows two con men living in the slum known as The Devil's Half-Acre. When they are commissioned by a mysterious employer, the men find themselves led down an unsavoury, and uncanny path.
