This is the story of two brothers ripped apart by the most infamous act in trans-Tasman sport, what Rob Muldoon described as “An act of cowardice appropriate to a team that wears a yellow uniform”.

As adults, the brothers are reunited at the Basin Reserve in Wellington. What results is a tumultuous ride through sport, politics and the ugly side of broken families. And, of course, the perennial sledging match that is Aussie-Kiwi relations.

The Underarm is directed by one of NZ’s most esteemed actors and directors, Peter Hambleton, who played the dwarf Gloin in The Hobbit trilogy.

Representing Australia, is renowned and award-winning Melbourne actor, Jeremy Kewley (Rove Live, Blue Heelers, Underbelly, McLeod's Daughters).

Representing NZ, is multi award-winning Wellington actor, Christopher Brougham (Shortland Street, The Strip, Avatar, The Hobbit).
