Iron follows the rekindling of a relationship between Josie and her estranged mother Fay who is currently serving a life sentence for killing Josie's father. Josie seeks to understand the events that she barely has any memory of, while Fay attempts to live life vicariously through her. As the play develops, we discover how incarceration has affected all of the parties involved, including the prison guards.

Auditions will be on Saturday 17 & Sunday 18 May, with callbacks the evening of Monday 19 May at Toi Poneke Arts Centre, 61/69 Abel Smith Street, Te Aro, Wellington, in one-hour slots and in small groups.
