Where to Watch Petra in New Zealand

What we fear is running out of time before we know who we really are

Marlie, a dutiful assistant who dreams of being the theater's next great actor, struggles to wrangle a flamboyant cast of characters for a closing performance of Las Amargas Lagrimas de Petra von Kant, their adaptation of Fassbinder's German text. Dealing with Margo, the theater's volatile director, is always challenging, but it's critically so when Marlie has to tell her that the main electric panel has collapsed just two hours before show and she had to call the only electrician who could fix the archaic apparatus: Frank, Margo's ex-husband.
