The former Standard Insurance building in Princes St has been transformed into purgatory for the Fortune Theatre production Play.
The show features urns, sculpted by artist Hannah Kidd, which are fabricated from old corrugated iron flattened out with a Land Rover.
The other piece de resistance is a lighting show, conceived by Dunedin sound engineer Stephen Kilroy, which cleverly plays with the craggy bunker.
"The actors are animated by the lights. They only speak when Stephen spotlights them. He is the fourth character in the play, really," director Lara Macgregor said.
The rapid-paced Samuel Beckett play tells the sorry tale of a man, his wife and his mistress.
The eight-minute performances are played in a loop, so passers-by can pop in and out off the street.
Play is on in the Standard Insurance building from 5.30pm to 7pm until Saturday.
Entry is free.
Just hope you can get out again.
