Show info

Three wanderers are stuck in a rut. They’ve been trying and failing to write a sketch show for… ever? 

Yeah, that's good! They're stuck in Purgatory! Caught in a loop of chaos and creation. As their relationship begins to deteriorate, so too does the show - threatening their fragile existence. But can they escape? And how? And if they do escape… where will they go? Heaven? Hell? Your place?

The trio soon discover they must put their differences aside and discover their true purpose if they’re to escape. 

Their purpose: find their purpose. 


Made with Support From Creative New Zealand.
