Bats Theatre - What's On This Week (And Next)

31 July 2006

Kia ora tatou,

Ah, the second week of two darkly done plays - who will miss out on tickets this time around? Make sure it isn't you! Heaven forbid you have to go to a Film Festival screening instead...

Death (and Love) in Gaza is living up to being the most topical and political piece of Theatre you will see in Wellington all year, and Fool For Love is a spunky piece of work, one audience member emailing me: "I came to see Fool for Love last night and it was just fantastic. I was utterly enthralled and delighted. I have been recommending it vigorously to everyone I know." Take this as your vigorous recommendation!

Both of these shows are on until Saturday, so book for your night out now! And check out what else is coming up down below...

Death (and Love) in Gaza by Paul Maunder
7pm
Until Saturday
$18 full / $13 concession
& groups of 10+

"Paul Maunder's Death (and love) in Gaza is both lecture and play and because of its burning topicality and the sincerity of the acting the unspoken reaction in the Bats auditorium on the opening night was indicated by the physical stillness of - and the close attention paid by - a clearly engaged audience."
- Laurie Atkinson, Dominion Post

In 2003, Rachel Corrie, a twenty three year old American, went to Palestine to work with local communities. While trying to protect a Palestinian family's home from demolition, Rachel was crushed and killed by an Israeli Army bulldozer.
