Dolphin Theatre presents The Ocean Star
by Michael Galvin
Directed by John Edwards
Yes, written by our own Michael Galvin (Dr Chris Warner, Shortland Street) The Ocean Star tells the story dog Brian, who just wants a quiet life. He’s content dot stay at home, reviewing the books and CDs that land on his doorstep and watching “Fear Factor” with his son Jay, a short film maker (until the funding dried up). But what lands on his doorstep next is his younger son Ted, and suddenly it’s his own family which is up for review. Ted may or may not be suffering from an incurable disease. Jay seems to be nursing a terrible resentment. Then there’s the small matter of Brian’s agoraphobia.
With a keen sense for the absurd, playwright Michael Galvin has crafted an exquisitely dark and comic play. Your own family never seemed so sane.
