An Unseasonable Fall of Snow
by Gary Henderson
directed by Melinda Francis
Dates: June 5 to 14, 2026
An Unseasonable Fall of Snow is a psychological thriller set in Wellington NZ in the 1990's.
A bewildered young man is questioned by a ruthless interrogator, who circles like a predator forcing him closer and closer to an awful admission. An electrifying game of cat and mouse and mind games, all serve to highlight the complexities of human behaviour, truth, consequences, and the often-harsh realities of life.
This raw, real, and confronting investigation into toxic masculinity, guilt and isolation, is compelling of truth.
