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, 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.
Fresh from smash-hit shows at RISING Festival in Melbourne, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and a season at Soho Theatre London.
Enjoy an hilarious, honest take on a universal human experience, and leave feeling all the better for it.

“Slickly staged and sharply written...as funny as it is wistful.” — The Stage ★★★★
