run coyote run
Presented by Leroy Nurkka and Keane As
'Run Coyote Run' is a new queer family drama set entirely in one Gisborne motel room.
Clever, sharp, and unsuspecting, delicately written by Leroy Nurkka and shortlisted for Playmarkets B425 Award 2024.
After the sold-out success of their debut project, 'Limbo', Keane As is proud to bring another award-nominated story by an emerging local playwright to the stage.
Young, brash, and headstrong aspiring poet Coyote has set fire to his past and fled his life in Pōneke. Accompanied by his more level-headed partner, Joe, the couple has hit the road and has nowhere left to go.
After accepting help from unlikely places and up against one storm-torn evening, our two are left questioning what it is they are really running from?
Styled as an American road film-inspired story of belonging, escape, and knowing oneself. 'Run Coyote Run' is a new kiwi story that presents a fresh take on the family narrative.
