"Tom's hands were strong to the plough
Elizabeth's lips were red"
Skin Tight premiered at Bats Theatre, Wellington NZ on 10th March 1994 during the Wellington Fringe Festival, and played to a season of packed houses.
Inspired by Denis Glover's poem "The Magpies," and the physicality of the two original actors, "Skin Tight" traces the long love affair of Tom and Elizabeth.
On an almost bare stage, the two actors wrestle, play, live and love with erotic abandon.
In 1998 the NZ production of Skin Tight won a prestigious Fringe First at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Scotland. It has also been produced in South Africa and Australia.
The production features an original soundtrack by Chris Ward, which is available for use.
