Play remastered for 21st century


Audiovisual effects and architectural projections feature in a “remastered” version of director Robert Lepage’s 1991 play Needles and Opium at the New Zealand Festival in Wellington.

Weta Digital has partnered with the play to bring it to Wellington. “It seemed fitting to align ourselves with an artist who intimately understands how to embrace technology as a way to enhance the act of storytelling,” Weta Digital general manager Tom Greally said.
