Ed Sheeran Tastes Like Chicken is a new home-grown satirical play currently in the first stages of creative development using elements of the absurd to expose the true absurdity of the precarious position of the Maui’s dolphins, a NZ species on the brink of extinction.

It is our intention to write a play which comments on the fishing and mining industries, bureaucratic inaction and corporate greed, delivered in a way which makes the urgent problem understandable. Researchers now estimate the remaining total population of Maui’s dolphins has sunk to an all-time low around 55 individuals, and just 10 to 12 adult female Maui’s dolphins.

The play is set in a world where the last group of miniature-Ed Sheerans, living peacefully in the wild, are threatened by the greedy hunting practices of a global corporation Barracuda Industries. The population of mini-Ed's only has 55 remaining individuals left and is threatened by increased hunting in their habitat. It follows a small group of unlikely heroes fighting for the mini-Ed's who stand up against the action and inaction which endangers the mini-Ed population.

This blog http://duckbunnytheatre.com/making-of-ed-sheeran-tastes-like-chicken/ will follow our progress and give you the scoop on how you can join us in the fight to save the dolphins; either creatively, through supporting our crowdfunding campaign, or by you coming to see the show once we are ready for an audience. So hold onto your flippers because we are off!
