“You take care of yourself as best you can. If you can fix it, then fix it yourself.”
Shaken
Shaken shook audiences when it premiered at Short + Sweet Wellington 2016
Shaken is in part an elegy to Christchurch; a reflection on the fallibility of “closure” and “moving on”. At the same time, it’s a celebration of human spirit and the robust hearts of a community.

Cast & Crew
Writer: Emily Duncan
Director: Dan Greer
Mrs Johnson: Raquel Roderick
Antony: Ethan Morrison
Dr Matthews: Jono Griffith
“The conflicting tension between Dr Matthews’ wanting to help and the proud Mrs Johnson resisting his intervention is not a new topic or venture for a play, but Shaken provides it with a fresh and new coat of Pohutukawa red paint. I wish to see the rest if there is more to come.”
