Black Gold

Black Gold is a darkly satirical play for the iPad generation. Laced with searing wit and raw cynicism, this debut play by young New Zealand playwright Kyle Greenwood poses uncomfortable questions about what lies at the heart of the global project.

Buchmann & Horst, a liberal, forward-thinking global technology giant, cordially invites its shareholders – the audience – to take part in its annual general assembly. The company’s new leadership will be delighted to present their newest initiative – the Black Gold project – which will most certainly revolutionize the modern world as we know it.

But what is the cost? Can something too good to be true be just that – true? Can we have our cake and eat it, too?
