Delahunty, who is co-director of 1st Gear Productions in Wellington, specialises in teaching, directing and writing plays for teenagers. She has written more than 20 plays, many of them for young people. Her Fringe 2008 play, 2b or nt 2b?, won a Pick of the Fringe award. It was also nominated for the 2008 Outstanding New New Zealand Play of the Year in the Chapman Tripp Theatre Awards and won Playmarket's 2009 Plays for the Young Competition. Delahunty likes including music in her plays. "Music is like emotional shorthand. It can go straight to the heart."

Synopsis: | Drama laced with comedy and music, linking the centuries and delving into the age-old problems of the human heart. Greek tragedy and a contemporary love story are intertwined in Medea Songs, a new play by award-winning playwright Sarah Delahunty set in a Wellington cafe and on at the New Zealand Fringe Festival 2010 from 24 to 27 February. Witha live band and a cast of 12, Medea Songs stars the exceptional talents of Neenah Dekkers-Reihana and Te Aihe Butler, who play the lead roles and perform the seven songs they wrote for the play. Both aged 16, the pair gave stand-out performances as Mary Magdalene and Jesus in last year's Onslow College production of Jesus Christ Superstar. They also performed in the 1st Gear Productions contribution to Compleate Workes, last year's celebration of Shakespeare. Dekkers-Reihana and Butler perform together again - this time as Clio and Ajax, teenagers who meet one night in a Wellington cafe owned by the Greek god Zeus. As we know, Greek gods like to play with the lives of mortals. Can the future of Clio and Ajax be changed over a flat white or latte? | |||||
