Death, Ray.

Aotearoa, 1935. Under a veil of government secrecy, an inventor is taken to Matiu Somes Island to build a death ray. This is his story.

Well, maybe it is. Possibly. It could be. How do you know this isn't how it happened? 

A strange fiction based on stranger facts, Death, Ray. by Zachary Klein is an outlandish new play inspired by a bizarre footnote in our history, presented by For Actual Real Theatre and premiering at BATS Theatre in New Zealand Fringe Festival 2025.
