A new play exploring the intersection of grief, faith and sexuality has shocked the playwright when it become the target of a hate campaign. Catholic-raised Tatiana Hotere was also involved for many years with Evangelic Christian churches. But once word got out about her play Skin Hunger, she was deluged with messages linking to sermons, hymns and 'Jesus saves' memes. Among other things there were furious accusations that she was a terrible role model to her daughters. Tatiana tells Lynn Freeman it was very hurtful, and particularly surprising because the play is by no means anti-Christian. Skin Hunger opens at Auckland's Basement Theatre on September 13 as part of the Auckland Fringe.
