Apocalypse Z - immersive theatrical experience from 12 April

apocalypseEquity members Charlie McDermott and Beth Allen of Royale Productions present Apocalypse Z from 12 - 27 April in Auckland's Aotea Square.

The streets lie devastated in the wake of a deadly virus. Your only hope of survival is joining a skeleton crew of desperate renegades in Aotea Square. Their outpost is all that stands between you and certain death.
  No under 13's as the show contains controlled theatrical effects including blood splatter, fake gun fire and fire, as well as realistic depictions of violence and disturbing imagery.

Last week of Cloud 9 with Jacque Drew and Donogh Rees

cloud9Equity members Jacque Drew and Donogh Rees star in Cloud 9, now on at The Basement theatre in Auckland. Reviewers describe the play as "a comedy of massive proportions" and one of the most successful comedy's to emerge out of England in the last thirty years. This time-shifting comedy by the author of Top Girls created a sensation Off-Broadway.  A marvellous send up and a non-stop round robin of sexual liaisons. Get your tickets now because the show ends on Saturday.

This is a relaxed, fun evening where the actors and acclaimed acting teacher Kacie Stetson will present original scenes they've written - and test them out on you in a workshop style performance.
