Heartbreak Hotel

This one's for the young hearts, the old hearts and the broken hearts. Story, science and a synth combine in an exhilarating performance that examines what happens in our bodies when we're bereft. From acclaimed New Zealand company EBKM (Yes Yes Yes), Heartbreak Hotel tracks a woman's broken heart in a wrenching and relatable journey that's studded with classic break-up songs and razor-sharp observations on the physiology of love. 'Fantastic. Karin McCracken is, quite simply, brilliant. She's hilarious, heartwarming and moving – often all at once' (TheatreView.org.nz).
